Awesome, but man could have picked more opaque shorts.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

leave it to you to notice that :) and good morning

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

I thought that myself... :doh:

And good morning sir.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

there is no doubt the guy has skills, now will that translate into touchdowns? lets hope so...

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

Let's hope that in the future he is known as "excellent wide out," not "pool jumping guy."

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

More than likey he is nothing more than a camp body. He may make the practice squad. There are too many guys in front of him to hope that is is a playmaker. He has got to see the field first, and that probably isn't going to happen. His claim at fame is going to be all of these youtube videos. Why we keep getting hyped about it is beyond me. He should just join the circus so that all of you can salavate over his tremendous jumping ability. Personally, I am going to be watching football instead.

Neat artical about "quick twitch" and measuring it using the vertical leap. Looks like Vinny might put a lot into this since Cody Glen, Kevin Barnes, and Orakpo look like they are all in the top 50 just using a quick glance. Oh yeah Eloi is number 3 with a 42.5 vertical

It's just interesting to watch is all, football player or not.

Sorry to ruin your day.

I think its more about simply getting your name out there so people will know you. Yes he's already on a team but if he gets cut then he's a nobody but right now with two video's out there some one may say "hey the Skins let that guy go."

Also no different then Cooley....he's probably an internet guy just having fun. Personally I hope he cracks the practice squad if nothing else. He's supposed to be as fast or faster then Moss. The question is can he catch a ball and run routes. If he can or if he's a little rough and can be "developed" then I would keep him and have him ready to replace Moss cause Moss aint getting any younger.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

Can he catch?

I know there was one video out there that showed Mitchell, DT and Eloi, And Eloi looked awful, think he had 0 out of 6 catches. DT had 4 and Mitchell caught all 6. again just a snapshot, who really knows.

He was in the pool with a DALLAS COWBOY... CUT HIM IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!

Maybe he did what my kids do in the pool to the guy -- that would be acceptable.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

I seriously should film myself trying to do this. I am 5 10 190 pound white guy. I would be so impressed with myself if I got my butt checks to even touch the edge of the pool before I fell back in.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

I think I might break my back. Humiliate myself as well. The pickup thing was even better imo.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

I couldn't jump out of the pool flat-footed even if it was empty.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

Now we just need to install pools in both end zones. I got drunk and feel out of my daughters wadding pool does that count?

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

do you get points for jumping in? I can do that!

I'm sorry, but I had to read that twice before I realized there was a typo. Thought we had a sicko on our hands.

I agree about the pools in the enzone though.. LMAO.

Honestly, though, I really have a hard time with any professional athlete performing these kinds of acts, especially so close to training camp and the season. It would be so easy to slip on that deck when landing, or catching a toe on a bumper when jumping into a truck; if they want to take risk in getting injured, save it for the field. Next thing you know, we are going to have players riding around on their motorcycles without helmets. Oh wait...

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

You guys havn't jumped out of a pool before?


JK.LOL.
I think the guy who did it prior to the draft was impressive. He was a lineman I think. All of 6' something and well over 200lbs. but if you think about it they are 6' tall players which means the water must stop halfway up their thighs. I know it's still a feet in itself to get all that weight atleast 3' off the ground along with having water as resistance.

Eloi's most impressive video was him jumping straight up and over the tail gate of a PU and landing in the bed of the truck. That seems a little harder....especially in flip flops.

LOL. Firstdown always keeps it interesting

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

idiotic move....the guys dream is right around the corner to get a large payday....and he puts his only asset..his body at significant risk....his agent...if he has one...is probably barfing.

Jumping out of a pool is a significant risk?

Maybe he slips and gets a brush burn

Your kids assrape people in the pool?

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

I think it's genius on his part, its the best chance for a guy in his position to get a second look from the coaching staff. The extra attention might help him also get more reps in preseason and end up increasing his chances of making the team.

What's the matter? Are you angry or something?

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

the kid is athletic

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

The kid is marketing himself don't blame him, he will probably get cut and some other team will pick him up based on these videos, I would like to see him as our PR i heard he's fast.

i couldnt do it even if the pool was empty

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

Go to the front step of your porch and try jumping backwards without looking back and down, its not that easy. Of course u can make but then just think about 3 ft and then out of water.l wouldnt try it.

Re: Another Keith Eloi jump
 

Can he juggle chainsaws or anything else? If he doesn't make the NFL he can put on a hell of a halftime show. Maybe for his next trick he can jump into a hot tub, on the bed of a pick-up truck, while blindfolded.

FAIL LMOA! I reread twice knowing something was amiss...it's pretty funny after all but at first glance seems sorta weird.

You have to commend him though. He didn't go back and edit it. He's taking all the fun in stride. LOL.
