Look, the 2012 Summer Olympics are during the offseason, and if there were ever an NFL player that should try his hand at one of the jumping or hurdling events, it's Jerome Simpson.

The man can jump.
On Saturday, Simpson did it again. There's hurdling a man going low, then there's what Simpson did to a poor Houston Texans defender. The defensive back put his head down -- let's learn from this, y'all; stop looking down when tackling him -- and Simpson made the man look foolish.
