Crazy high jump by a college football player

[maldorf]

Just found this on yahoo. You have to see the video to believe it. THe guy is 6 foot tall and is able to jump ontop of boxes piled up 5 foot high.
Draft prospect

That's f'ing unbelievable. Like to see how that helps him out in the draft

Awesome jump and flexibilities!

His actual measured verticle is 39", which is impressive, and I believe put him in the top 10 for the NFL Combine.

Here's a couple verticles that'll make you go "DAMN!":

Spud Webb (NBA) - 46" <---ONLY 5'7"!
Randy Moss (NFL) - 51"
Michael Wilson (Globetrotters) - 51"
Reggie Thompson (Jumpsoles) - 56" <---ONLY 5'7"! (can squat over 500#)
Kadour Ziani (Slamnation) - 60+" <---5'10"!

Kadour Ziani (Slamnation) - 60+" <---5'10"!

I was thinking in my head, no way, but I just watched a couple Youtube videos...HOLY SHIT!!! It seriously looks like hes jumping off a trampoline or something when he elevates.

That guy is a mutant--and he's white

Bit of a running start but former Cardinals All Pro Adrian Wilson goes 66" 66 Inch Jump by Adrian Wilson - YouTube
Lots of football guys do the type of ballastic plyometric explosive training which develops this ability. Even back in my fat ass PL days I could even go about 44-46" myself. If you train for explosiveness it comes. But yes without question it is visually impressive to watch

This is very impressive, not to knock him but this is not unusual....it all comes down to how strong your legs are and if most of these guys are squatting big it will correlate to their box jumps. Look at UFC fighter GSP he jumps a great height out of water in a pool onto the edge of the pool. There are a lot of young people doing this and capable of doing this...to say average person, no, but if you go into a college athletics weight room it happens a lot.
