Looking for 8 or so competitions that we can run for lineman during a passing league tourny. Besides tire flips what are other that you have done?

I have seen one where the teams drive a five man sled 20 yards for time. Your best five against each other schools best five. You can't ever go wrong with tug of war either.

 www.playallamerican.com/lineman-challenge-rules/C. Farmer’s Walk Each athlete will walk with two implements down a 25 yd. course. This is a timed event. Individual scores will be determined by the lowest overall time. Team scores will be determined by the sum of the athletes’ times. 5 athletes from each team will compete in this event. The athlete will begin with the implements completely behind the starting line of the course. The athlete will pick up the implements whenever ready. The clock will start when the athlete is standing erect with both implements and takes his first step forward. The clock stops when the front of both implements crosses the end of the course. If an athlete cannot carry both implements at the same time, he may carry them one at a time. If an athlete cannot finish the event, they will be given a time of 120 seconds. Athletes may use gloves or chalk during this event. I have seen people use 2 45# plates, 2 5 gallon buckets half filled with dirt, 2 olympic bars or whatever.

We normally train for a lineman games competition while everyone else is doing 7v7. The competition has:
Farmers Walk
Bench Press
5 man sled drive
Sand Bag Relay (normally an army ruck pack filled with sand which they have to carry 30 some yards and bear crawl back)
Platform lift? (not sure what you call it, but basically 5 jump boxes of varying height are lined up and you have to put increasing amount of weight on top of each box. timed event)
Iron Madden (timed event to see how long you can hold 15 lb weights with a straight arm. The competition has an apparatus where if your arms move so much a block of wood will fall.)
Jump ropes
Wagon pull (A hay wagon with a harness, all team memebers except for one must sit on it while the other pulls it 50 yards)
Tug of War
and one year they had the "dead mans lift". Where teams had to lift a weighted coffin into a hearse then push the hearse a given distance.
