So who are those 25 footers plus/sub 14.00 hurdlers that made it to the NFL? I will mention two guys who didn't reach 25 but feel thay need to be mentioned. Gale Sayers and Lynn Swann both had leaps of over 24 feet as high schoolers. Swann twice winning Cal State. Sayers jump was a long standing Kansas state record. I'm thinking 24-10ish..???
Anyway...
Bo Roberson...Cornell/Raiders...1960 Oly silver medalist
Paul Warfield...Ohio State/Dolphins & Browns
Ron Jessie...Kansas/Lions & Rams
J.J.Birden...Oregon/Chiefs
Champ Bailey...Georgia/Redskins & Broncos
Mel Renfro...Oregon/Cowboys
Terry Metcalf...Long Beach St/Cards
Terdell Middleton....Memphis/Packers
Latin Berry...Oregon/Rams
Dokie Williams...UCLA/Raiders
Johnny Hector...Tex A&M/Jets
Chris Sanders...Ohio St/Titans
Vance Johnson...Arizona/Broncos
Those at 27ft and over....
James McAlister...UCLA/Eagles & Pats
James Lofton...Stanford/Packers & Raiders
Eric Metcalf....Texas/Browns.....he would be the king with his 27-8? leap
Still not sure why Renaldo Nehemiah couldn't make it in the NFL. Would you believe the Niners actually had him run a 40 for them? Ah...why? I read (so????) he ran a hand timed 4.1. Let's just leave it alone...ok? Will never figure out the timing in a 40. Bob Hayes was running 4.4.
Anyway....
Renaldo Nehemiah...Maryland/Niners
Bobby Mitchell....Illinois/Browns & Redskins....he started out as the Browns halfback beside Jim Brown at fullback. Talk about thunder and lightnin"...damn!!!! For some reason he was traded..??????
Bennie McRae...Mich/Bears
Reyna Thompson...Baylor/Giants
Fair Hooker...Arizona St/Browns.....gotta love that name.
Quadry Ismail...Syracuse/Vikings
Ken Margerum...Stanford/Bears
Jim Johnson....UCLA/Niners
Gene Washington...Mich St/Vikings
Jerry Tarr...Oregon/Broncos
Earl McCullouch...USC/Lions
Rod Woodson....Purdue/pick a couple
Tyrone Wheatley...Michigan/Giants & Raiders
Willie Gault....Tenn/Bears & Raiders
Mel Renfro....Oregon/Cowboys....a 25-10/13.7/9.6 guy. Stud running back in college.
Richmond Flowers...Tenn/Giants & Cowboys
No doubt I screwed something up and forgot a couple, so feel free to help me out.
