That test isn't to test their actual strength. It's to see which prospect puts in the time in the weight room to get better. Helps the coaches to distinguish between who slacks off and who is coming in with a great work ethic in terms of physically preparing themselves for the game. The number only really matters if it is alarmingly low. IE, less than 20 reps for OL and DL players is a red flag no matter how long their arms are. Teams look at the numbers and compare it to the tape; is the strength, or lack of strength, reflected on the field?
