Pics: JJ Watt tries to land a 61 inch box jump and fails

And he posted his failure in a most inspiring way

JJ Watt and his box jumping skills is one of our favourite things about one of our favourite NFL players. But the Houston Texan has become even more popular after he posted a failed attempt at his party piece, trying to land a new height of 61 inches, or five foot 1 inch. His previous best, as far as we know, ifs 59.5 inches. As he says himself, we feel sorry for whoever had to catch the big fella on the way down.

You'll never know what you're truly capable of unless you push yourself to the limits. 5'1" fail. #SpotterStruggles pic.twitter.com/1eM712WBMI — JJ Watt (@JJWatt) March 17, 2015
