Didn't realize Byron Jones broke the actual world record for the standing long jump at the NFL combine. He also came within a half inch of breaking the (official) vertical leap record

However, based on these unconfirmed sources, 46 inches is well shy of what might be an unofficial world record.

The world record holder for the vertical jump (according to answers.com) is held by Michael Wilson

of the Globetrotters, who has a 55" leap (he also once dunked on a 12-foot hoop, which is also a record). Someone else reports that Kadour Ziani, the highest vertical leaper from Slamnation, has a vertical jump of 61" (other reports for top leaps for Kadour range from 56"/142cm upwards). There are some other impressive stats coming from another slam dunking group, Team Flight Brothers, especially Terrell Cournoyea aka TDub, who is just 5'9" tall. He has apparently been seen leaping with his head above the basketball rim, very impressive for his size.

Volleyball player Leonel Marshall reportedly has a 50" (127 cm) vertical leap from standing. He is the star of the Men's Cuban National Volleyball team. Search for him on YouTube and you will see some spectacular jumping action of him.

On Reggie Thompson's website, it says that he holds the World Record for highest vertical jump at 59" (recorded in the Guiness Book of Records as 56").

Jared Goff’s 74.9 percent completion rate has him on NFL record pace

No quarterback in NFL history has ever completed three-quarters of his passes in a season. But Lions quarterback Jared Goff just might do it this year.

Goff’s completion percentage is at 74.9 percent this season. If he completes his first pass on Sunday night against the Texans, he’ll be at exactly 75.0 percent for 2024.

The NFL record for completion percentage in a season belongs to Drew Brees, who completed 74.44 percent of his passes with the 2018 Saints. Brees also has the second-best completion percentage in NFL history, at 74.34 percent in 2019, and the third-best at 72.01 percent in 2017. No one in NFL history has come close to what Brees was doing late in his career.

At least, no one until Goff this year. Over his last six games, Goff has completed 82.8 percent of his passes. No one else in NFL history has ever completed more than 80 percent of his passes over any six-game stretch. It’s been a remarkable run for Goff this season, and his accuracy is one of the reasons the Lions are the best team in the NFL right now.
