			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The reason <a href="http://www.twincitiesminnesotablog.com/2005/04/vikings_2005_dr_1.html">I wanted us to draft <strong>Mike Williams</strong> instead of <strong>Troy Williamson</strong></a> was Williams&#8217; height&#8211;a six foot five target is an awfully nice asset to have in the red zone, as we know from the luxury of having had <strong>Randy Moss</strong> for seven years.</p>
<p>I mentioned <strong>Nate Burleson</strong>&#8216;s leaping ability <a href="http://www.twincitiesminnesotablog.com/2005/08/vikings_tall_re.html">when describing my fantasy red zone squad</a>, but I didn&#8217;t have a number to quantify that ability. Now I do: the six foot one <a href="http://www.startribune.com/stories/503/5546210.html">Burleson has a 42 and one half inch vertical leap</a>.  </p>
<p>But writing is all in the details and you got to hand it to <em>Star Tribune</em> writer <a href="http://www.startribune.com/stories/510/5563959.html"><strong>Kevin Seifert</strong> for giving us the visual to end all visuals</a> that illustrates just how much Ups Nate has got:</p>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><p>Largely unnoticed, receiver Nate Burleson made one of the more amazing moves of training camp Tuesday morning. As the receivers group jogged to a drill, Burleson caught up to receiver Daryl Jones. Burleson put his hands on Jones&#8217; shoulders and then leapfrogged him as Jones stood straight. Burleson cleared the 5-9 Jones&#8217; head by at least a foot. </p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>That&#8217;s</em> what I&#8217;m talkin about!</p>
