Not sure what the jumping has to do with anything.


It's a tremendous developer of athleticism. He said in the video that he wants JR to do well at teh combine and show the scouts he has alot of athleticism on top of his obvious arm strength.

I'm guessing here, but the NFL has moved a little toward more mobility in qb's, unless you are a top tier pocket passer who can read defenses etc and stay in the pocket effectively.

Basically, trying to make him more appealing to more teams.

Man, if he can get down to 4.8 and drop to say 270-280... just imagine the head of steam if the pocket breaks down and he has to run 4-5 yards... could even be used on the goal line like Newton is.
