What is Lafell's verticle leap? In every photograph I have seen of him celebrating, he is almost 3 feet above whomever he is celebrating with. I have never seen anyone higher than him. His verticle must be 40+. Anyone know?

I don't know what his vertical is, but he is obviously a freak of an athlete. I know LSU supposedly has receivers faster than him, but he really looks like he has a different gear in games, really a complete receiver.

He's awesome. The pictures of him jumping are incredible. It seems like he should be high jumping on the track team.

I heard he once jumped over the west upper deck onto the field - with Tim Tebow, of course.

The math can be done simply. I would if I wasn't on a cell phone. You can look how tall he is, then see how many inches tall he is on the computer. Then find out how many feet per inches, and then apply that to how high off the ground he is.

He's got such a high verticle he could jump over Knowshawn Moreno as Moreno is jumping over a defender.

A lot of people don't know this, but he was actually a stud on Lamar's basketball team. He was a human highlight reel. Averaged 20+ points a game with 2-3 sick dunks thrown in.

Don't be fooled, Dickson is still on his way up in that pic, he ended up higher than LaFell
