The 2024 NFL Combine is here, and that means we’re going to see a lot of athletes doing some amazing things in their workouts.

Here, we’re focusing on the vertical jump, the feat that shows how explosive players can be when leaping up, which can prove how they can outleap cornerbacks for catches or jump over wideouts for interceptions. Heck, sometimes it’s about jumping over linemen for sacks! Wild!

Let’s break down the 10 best jumpers of all time as we get set for the 2024 combine, with some very familiar names on here who boosted their draft stock with one magnificent leap:
