Everson Griffen Is A Freak

Take a gander at the grainy picture below. That's incoming USC football recruit Everson Griffen (in red) jumping over a defender on the way to a touchdown run.



'Hm, that's kind of interesting' you might say to yourself before thinking nothing else of it.

Thing is, Griffen's merely moonlighting as a tailback. In reality he's a 6'-4", 270 pound defensive end starting his college football career in just a few months. Can your defensive end do that? USC's can.

I've watched a lot of highlight tapes over the years and I've rarely seen tailbacks do that whole mid-air hurdle routine. I've seen exactly zero 270-pound defensive ends do it. So yeah, he's a freak.
