What do we have to do to get NFL prospect Henry Ruggs in the dunk contest?

Henry Ruggs III is literally the best of us. Is there anything he cannot do? I’m dead serious right now.

This man came into the NFL combine and casually ran an official 4.27 40-yard dash, one of the fastest in combine history. There are six receivers ever who have run sub-4.3 40-yard dash times. You get the point. Dude is fast.

But that’s not what I’m hear to tell you. What you also need to know about Ruggs is that he’s also apparently a hooper.

And not only is he a hooper, he’s also an INSANE dunker. Like, a “put him in the dunk contest right now” type of dunker.

Just get a load of this highlight reel.

He is not just dunking. He’s going over, around and through people. He’s busting 360’s without much of a running start. His head is very clearly over the rim. Keep in mind that my man is only six feet tall.

Every dunk we saw from him there would’ve gotten a 10 in Chicago during NBA All-Star Weekend. Well, maybe not by Dwyane Wade’s standards — but still!

I’m just saying, man. I know a hooper when I see one. Henry, buddy, if the NFL really does this lockout thing? The NBA is waiting my friend.
