Well, he just absolutely crushed the Bench Press test at the 2017 NFL Combine. Perine put up 30 reps of 225 pounds, which was by far the most of any running back and more than all but four of the offensive linemen. Dating back to 2006, the most reps a running back has recorded at the NFL Combine is 32.The craziest part is that Perine used to be able to bench even more when he was in high school. Perine told TulsaWorld.com that he once put up 225 on the Bench Press for 35 reps during his high school days.
In some patients, bleeding can be black and tarry (sticky) and foul smelling. The black, smelly, and tarry stool is called melena. Melena occurs when the blood is in the colon long enough for the bacteria in the colon to break it down into chemicals (hematin) that are black.
Bleeding in the stomach, esophagus or intestines can turn into a black color by the time it leaves the body as stool. This can be caused by bleeding ulcers, stomach inflammation, broken blood vessels in the esophagus called varices, or tumors. This type of bleeding can be life-threatening. The bleeding can also come from a nosebleed or from the mouth if blood is swallowed. Black stools can also be caused by supplements such as iron or medicines such as Pepto-Bismol. Certain foods, like blueberries or black licorice, can also turn the stool black. Your doctor can tell if there is any blood in the stool by taking a stool sample from the rectum and performing a simple test in the office. If you are having any black or tarry stools, call your doctor right away.
