    38.5. I would have thought it would be a little higher but obviously that's pretty damn good.

    Was this OBJ's official forty time?

    I believe Lache Seastrunk (we all remember him) had a 41.5" vert . That's what Mayock said yesterday, anyway.

    I know 38.5 is incredible but there were 12 guys who went higher. I thought he'd be top 5. Maybe 39.5 or so. Doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. By the way, the record is 45". That's unreal.

    That's absolutely incredible. Who jumped 45"?

    Gerald Sensabaugh has the record at 46. But take into consideration how short OBJ is and 38.5 is remarkable

    Take into consideration the mediocre career of one Gerald Sensabaugh.

    Btw, if OBJ were 6 ft vs 6'9" tall doesn't make a difference in how you would think about his vertical, unless the combines measure everyone using the same setting of the sticks. If that's the case, that's outrageously silly.

    Good point, I wonder, do those sticks get adjusted based on your height? I've never paid enough attention to that. Stoner moment if so.

    That's weird. It doesn't show up on the combine website. It must have been at a pro day or something.
