Bryce Petty can jump higher than these NBA stars

Higher than their combine numbers, at least.

Bryce Petty is very, very good at football. Turns out he’s a pretty alright athlete as well.

Baylor football posted this video Wednesday of the Heisman contender showing off his impressive leaping skills, clearing a cone in practice.

Petty’s been measured as having a 38-inch vertical, a fairly absurd number for a quarterback (especially one with Petty’s kind of arm). But is it basketball good? Most definitely. Via the DraftExpress database, a list of players whose pre-draft vertical number fell short of Petty’s.

  • Dwyane Wade
  • Blake Griffin
