    It's okay. We had a thread about this video over a year ago when we drafted him. We were way ahead of reddit this time (though r/Texans probably posted it around the same time, too).

    I can do that.

    Though I'm not 6'5'' 290lbs. Such a scary combination of size and athleticism.

    Nothing new. He was doing this before the draft.

    I saw him jump "ON" top of boxes, OP. :p

    ;)

    That is amazing.

    One thing I noticed, though, is that when he jumps, the angle of his feet is a bit upwards towards his shins, so in actuality he might jump less than the advertised heights, but doesn't take away his ability. He's still an amazing athlete. It's probably a difference of about ½ to 1 inch. :eek:

    Blasphemy! JJ Watt gets his superpowers solely from his own badassness and steady diet of opposing quarterbacks' souls.

    This should be helpful the next time the Colts try to block him with a dresser.

    Anyone else think.....that a player like JJ Watt won't get to be in a Super Bowl in his prime?
    I don't.

    Just saw a news caster on channel 2 do this. Guess it's not so great.

    LMAO. I saw that. He jumped on top of their desk. No more than about 45 inches. He also took a step to do it. It's harder straight up. Most athletic men can do something like that, but as you get higher and higher, even an inch makes a HUGE difference in landing the jump.

    Edit- found the video

    Lots of people can do it. I could do it when I was in high school, and I can still do it now.

    Now, can lots of people his size do it? Probably not.
