Vertical Jump Results

1997 NFL Scouting Combine

What is the Vertical Jump?
The vertical jump (or vertical leap) evaluates an athlete's lower-body explosion and power. The athlete first has their "standing reach" measured. Then they jump from a standstill position with a goal of touching the highest flag they can reach. The difference between their standing reach and the high point of the jump is their vertical leap measurement.
