It’s amazing how trends develop in football. For example: players leaping over each other. I’ve seen it so many times that I’m almost beginning to expect a running back or wide receiver to leap over a defender to gain an extra couple of yards.
Here’s the latest example of a player jumping over a defender as Beanie Wells does his Superman impression in leaping over an Illinois’ defensive back in the Buckeyes’ 30-20 victory last Saturday.
Love the music. And as long as defensive backs are going to keep trying to tackle players low, I think we’ll see more plays like this.






Hell of a play, especially considering how many yards he gained after the leap, as opposed to a guy who jumps over a defender for only a couple extra yards.
Thanks for posting this. My wife’s been wanting to see it after I raved about it being one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
No problem DM! It was a great play…
