Overheard that Chris Bleich had an 8'+ broad jump (we can't see them from the opposite sideline) when a Saints scout came over to talk with him. Said it was very impressive for an O-Lineman.

Broad jumps distances always sound so unimpressive to me. I mean i think i've got to be able to get close to 10' even at 46 years old and mostly out of shape.

If I am not mistaken these are standing broad jumps.

Yes I realize that. The distances still sound unimpressive to me. I'm half tempted to go home and test myself.

/ cue 911 call to send EMT's to CbusCuse's house, when he blows out both knees and hammies.

That's certainly possible. It'll be like those videos you see of middle aged men trying to run the 40 and the best finishers get to pick their spot in their fantasy football leagues. Those are pretty funny.

Measure out 5 feet (or even just 3). Make a safe half effort jump to try to hit those marks.

If successful, and honest about the effort level it took to do it, go for max distance. Just be sure to set up a video camera and post your results!

Its like Dunking a basketball.. Many people can jump and touch the rim. It's that extra 8-10 inches in reach that turns it into a dunk.

Or like lifting 200 vs 250. only 25% more seems easy.

Or, if unsuccessful, send the video to AFV (or YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.)

10' is about what the RBs get. It's harder than you'd think. I was a solid athlete. I long jumped over 18' in high school. I had a friend that had a standing broad jump mat that we rolled out one day. At 31 yrs old I got about 8 ft.
