Correct me, if I am wrong, please, I know almost nothing about American football and NFL, and I am not interested in this sport either - but one thing really astounded me:

The data of vertical leap are so incredible that they look very fishy to me. 45 inches=114.3 cm?! Don't you know, how it is actually measured? I watched some videos and the tests looked like traditional Sargent's tests. Still, I have never heard about a higher vertical jump than 94,5 cm (37') in a Greek triple jumper. Michael Jordan actually reached 93 cm, when he was officially tested. The US volleyball team had an average 92 cm (following 4 steps), but the average of the best ten NFL guys would be over 40 inches (101.6 cm), which I hesitate to accept.
