Melvin Gordon clears Kansas City defender with perfectly timed hurdle
Melvin Gordon is jumping over more NFL defenders.
The former Wisconsin Badger star and current Los Angeles Charger running back is undoubtedly one of the more athletic backs in the NFL. He has made his living with the Chargers as an all-purpose back, posting over 5,500 yards from scrimmage in five seasons.
Two weeks ago, Gordon jumped over one defender at full speed. On Monday night, he hurdled a Kansas City Chiefs defender after picking up a first down.

Gordon is already a tough guy to tackle by hitting him up high. But when defenders go low, he is not afraid to go up and over at any given moment.
Here’s his move from Monday Night Football:
