Torrence comes to the Bills advertised as a powerful blocker. If you’re wondering who to credit for that, look no further than his hamstring muscles.
The Washington Post profiled Torrence, pre-draft. Per their report, Torrence reported to Exos, an athletic training facility north of Dallas to prep for the combine. There, his hamstrings were tested.
Evidently, Torrence is a hell of a strong man in his legs. We’ll let their report do the talking
Normally, the hamstrings of an average man between 20 and 30 years old each produce about 386 Newtons, according to a report by VALD Performance, the human-measurement technology company that developed the test. (A Newton is a unit that measures force.) An NFL skill player usually produces around 500 Newtons. A big left tackle, about 650. If an athlete pulls 700, Exos coach Brent Callaway thinks, “That’s freaking really good.” The highest he had ever seen was 775.
That day, Torrence pulled 820 Newtons with his left hamstring and 992 with his right.
That imbalance was something Torrence worked on… and by no means are we hamstring experts… but woah.
