Michigan’s Mazi Smith, a 323-pound defensive tackle, led the bench press on Friday with 34 repetitions.

Pappoe weighed in at 225 pounds for the combine. Of the five players who did more repetitions than the Auburn linebacker on Friday, four weighed at least 279 pounds while Kansas edge Lonnie Phelps had 31 repetitions after weighing in at 244 pounds.

Pappoe’s bench-press performance is tied for ninth among Auburn players at the NFL Scouting Combine this century. Defensive end Carl Lawson in 2017 and guard Braden Smith in 2018 are at the top of the Tigers’ chart with 35 reps apiece.

On Thursday, Pappoe blazed through the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds. He became the third linebacker since 2000 to run the 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine faster than 4.4 seconds, joining UCF’s Shaquem Griffin at 4.38 in 2018 and Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons at 4.39 in 2020.

Pappoe also finished fifth among the linebackers with a vertical jump of 35.5 inches and a standing broad jump of 10 feet, 6 inches on Thursday.
