You need to change the thread title

He does not have a 66 inch vert, that's physically impossible

 

[Avery]

Well, that's not technically a 66" inch vert as he lifted his legs up.

The guy has springs no doubt.

 

[locked&loaded]

he folded his legs like a chair. i call shananigans.

[Achozen]

The real question is, can he squat as much as Testeverde..

 

[adamknite]

Yeah I've seen it before, but it's still pretty sweet.

 

[TheKey]

As other members have said, its not a vertical if you pick your legs up.

 

[StevenOtero]

He can still jump! Quit hatin!!!! I hope this board doesn't turn into digg. lol

 

[TEK2000]

Honestly, its not totally amazing. Its cool that he can bring his legs up like that... but he's jumping maybe 2.5 to 3 feet in the air which is pretty normal for good athletes..

 

[peplaw06]

That's not even how they measure vert jumps... like big dog said, that's a high jump.

The vert jump is measured by first raising your arm straight up to get your reach. Then the athlete jumps with his arm extended to see how high he can reach. It's usually done with a device like this pic... IIRC, this is Manny Lawson from the 06 draft.

Great, he can jump 40+ inches in the air, then pull his legs up.

I could do that back in high school... but the bar was 6'6" high and it was called the High Jump. :laugh2:

 

[Hoofbite]

Isn't a vertical but still very impressive.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

That was awesome........he went over the dude head on the left of him

That jump by AW is not that impressive.

Man, I really do like that guy. I think he could be a good pickup... not in the first round, of course... but I do like him a lot.

Since we are being technical about it, that is not a true vertical leap either because under the test you can only take one step I believe.
