More Jumping With Keith Eloi
Posted by Matt Terl on July 23, 2009 – 11:25 pmMy favorite part of the video that turned rookie WR Keith Eloi into a YouTube sensation — the one where he jumped into the back of a pickup truck — was his buddy at the end yelling “JUMP OUT THE POOL ON THAT!” That challenge was in reference to a previous YouTube phenomenon in which Bears rookie Jarron Gilbert does, in fact, jump out of a pool.
All of that led to something of a friendly rivalry between Eloi and Gilbert, much of which seemed to focus on who could do more impressive feats of leaping and put the video on the internet. Honestly, though, I sort of figured the whole thing would die down as we got closer to training camps and the chance for these guys to impress people in non-internet-video ways.
Shows what I know. Intern Matt received a link to this video late Thursday and forwarded it on to me, and it appears to be Keith Eloi jumping out of the pool, a la Jarron Gilbert … only Eloi is doing it backwards.
Something about the jump looks strange to me, although it’s not like I’ve seen a lot of similar stuff to compare it to, but I figured it was worth posting either way. Per Intern Matt, Eloi says this was shot with a phone, and that he’s done with the stunts after this one. I’ll try to catch up with Eloi for more details soon.
