David Wilson charged down the runway on Saturday as if he was looking for an end zone. Instead, wearing a purple top with green shorts, he took 12 steps before launching into a triple jump that landed 14.66 meters from where it started.

"As you see on the runway, I still look like a football player," said Wilson, a former Giants running back and 2012 first-round pick.
