About Me
Bethel's official vertical leap at the combine in February was "only" 39.5 inches, which was tops for a defensive player and fifth overall. Why the difference between that number and his estimated 60-inch leap in the video? They come from two different measurements, for starters. The vertical leap at the combine is the difference between a player's flat-footed reach and his reach while leaping.
The senior cornerback told CNBC's Darren Rovell that he was unaware his locker room clip had made its way to YouTube.
A video like this helps Bethel's public profile but is unlikely to do much inside an NFL team's draft room. It's tough to imagine that viral clips have much sway with NFL general managers, at least until Vinny Cerrato gets another job.
If Bethel is selected this weekend, he'd be the first player from his alma mater to be drafted since 1969. Scouts label him a late-round prospect. They're worried about his lack of college competition and catch-up speed but praise his intelligence, athleticism and, presumably, box-jumping abilities.this in before you can start messaging other members
