00:01Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't just one of the greatest soccer players ever.
00:05At his peak, he could jump higher than many NBA players.
00:10And this resurfaced footage shows exactly why.
00:13Remember his legendary header against Manchester United in 2013?
00:18His head reportedly reached an incredible 9 feet, 7 inches above the ground.
00:23And in 2019, he soared above defenders again to score against Sampdoria.
00:28His jumping ability was comparable to, or better than, many professional basketball players.
00:34Not bad for someone whose job was to score goals with his feet.
