The above video of Chicago Bears rookie Jarron Gilbert jumping out of a pool has been viewed on YouTube more than a million times and given Gilbert something of a cult following. Now another rookie, Jason Williams of the Cowboys, is saying on Twitter that he can do it, too.
Williams, a linebacker from Western Illinois, wrote on Twitter Friday that he was "Pretty stocked right now cuz i just jumped out of 3 feet of water today!!"
Unfortunately for Williams, he's not about to become a viral video star like Gilbert. Tim McMahon of the Dallas Morning News asked Williams via Twitter if we'd be seeing the feat on YouTube, and Williams replied, "nah it was kind of random, so no cameras were rolling".
So we'll just have to take Williams' word for it. I'm not sure where this whole jumping out of a pool phenomenon came from, but I look forward to finding out which other NFL players can do it.

And I can't wait until someone with the brain of Chad Johnson tries it only to bust their knee on the side of the pool and ruins their career
