[quote]To the poster that pointed out lifts do not matter it is what you do on the field:
You are correct in terms of current ability. However there are athletes that are super strong, agile, mobile, and hostile that have not received the best coaching (I know this is true at the D2 level, maybe or maybe not at mid to lower tier D1 schools). Strength tests couple with agility/mbility tests can help find these diamonds in the rough. Also, for the guys that perform on the field, if their strength is below par they can definitely improve their play with greater strength - especially squats and cleans.[/quote]
Oh sure, definitely. My point was just that numbers in the gym are not always 100% accurate bellweathers of overall performance/playing ability.
