Holley Mangold has a message for J.J. Watt and Shawn Oakman: Anything they can do, she can do better.
The 25-year-old Olympic weightlifter, whose brother, Nick, plays center for the New York Jets, joined a growing group of athletes who show their athleticism by performing a box jump.
Here's Watt's record-breaking 61-inch jump:
And here's Oakman, Baylor's gargantuan defensive end, doing a 40-inch jump while holding 70-pound weights:
For her jump, Mangold started in a seated position. But that's not the only difference, as you'll see in the video she posted to her Instagram page:
So close, yet so far.
Don't let this video change the way you think about Mangold's athleticism, as she has proven herself to be a spectacular athlete. Not only did she qualify for the 2012 London Olympics, she also played on the offensive line at Archbishop Alter High School in Ohio. She was the first female non-kicker to play in an Ohio Division III high-school football game.
