Byron Jones – 12 Feet, 3 Inches

Tvervaag's broad jump record of 12 feet, 2 inches had stood for nearly 50 years until UConn defensive back Byron Jones stunned not just the NFL world, but the athletic world at large with this insane leap of 12 feet, 3 inches in 2015.

His impressive jump and overall performance at the combine that year only helped to improve his stock as the Cowboys selected him 27th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. Jones has appeared in every single game for Dallas over the past three seasons and has accumulated 177 tackles and a pair of interceptions.
