J.J. Watt has seen those MLB box jumps (Bryce Harper and Brett Lawrie being the two most popular), and, well, he's got a bit of a quibble.

Maybe more than a quibble.

"I don't know, because they advertise it the same," Watt tells our Andy Nesbitt in the video above. "... You can't take a step. You can't run into it. You have to start standing still, feet locked and just jump straight onto it. It's impressive nonetheless. Their athletic feats are impressive -- just not that impressive."

If you want impressive, watch how the Texans defensive end did it -- from a standing start, straight up, 61 inches.
