WATCH: Nebraska’s Maliek Collins squats whopping 785 pounds
Published:
Nebraska defensive tackle Maliek Collins is projected as a Day 2 selection in this April’s NFL draft.
His squatting ability, however, is the stuff of legend.
Collins is in Phoenix training for the draft, which is loaded with talented defensive tackles. Well, how many of them are capable of squatting so much that the bar literally can’t fit any more weight on it?

Collins declared for the NFL draft with a year of eligibility remaining, and from the look of it, he has plenty of strength to make the next step.
The Husker defensive tackle can further help his cause with an impressive showing at the NFL Scouting Combine at the end of the month.
Feats of strength like this one will certainly turn some important heads.
