Fournette actually had a 28.5" vertical jump... the same as Sanguinetti. Fournette just happened to weigh 240 lbs. at the time (about 70 lbs more than Sanguinetti).

Let us compare apples to apples. By my count, 59 DBs performed the vertical jump at the Nike Opening in Canton. The top vertical for a DB was a 41.7" (13.2" better than Sanguinetti), and the worst was a 26.4" (2.1 inches worse than Sanguinetti). The average vertical was a shade over 33.1"...

What's the excuse for the 28.5 vertical jump, Mr. and Mrs. Sanguinetti?

It was in the mid-70s when he ran per The Opening's website. His shuttle time was also horrible. And he can barely jump over a happy meal. It's not just that he ran a slow 40. He performed well below average for a DB in nearly every physical test at The Opening.
