Holy fricking shite

Byron Jones, a cornerback from UConn, had a 12-foot, 3-inch broad jump this morning, shattering the old record of 11 feet, 7 inches.

That’s an insanely good broad jump — so good that it might be the best broad jump in human history. The standing long jump is rarely performed in competitive settings and hasn’t been an Olympic event in 100 years, so it’s hard to find reliable records for it. But Wikipedia lists the world record as 3.71 meters, which would be 12 feet, 2 inches.


He even put the most OT ballerist of ballers to shame

I thought this was about a female with a reasonable vertical.

Broad jump always seemed like a good way to blow an ankle or achilles or something

He also had a 44.5" vertical.


Jumping 12 feet standing flat footed is impressive:

12'3" broad jump.
44.5" vertical.

Sounds pretty athletic to me.

so, you don't think it, in any way, shows a player's explosiveness?

That's what I was thinking. This with some speed should translate into a pretty good long jumper
