A Player With a 39-Inch Vertical vs. A Player Who Can Jump Over a Car

The NFL draft has increasingly become more and more about the numbers. How much a player can bench press, how high he can jump, and how fast he can travel 40 yards are some of the key measures used to evaluate the potential worth of a player. However, this year's exception was University of Maine's Daren Stone. It wasn't his statistics but a YouTube video of him jumping over a car that got scouts buzzing about his athleticism. Numbers are important. But stories created from interesting images and events trump them every time. Daren was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round.
