Chase Coffman = Missouri Birdman

Chase Coffman

While everybody is going on about Knowshon Moreno’s brilliant Vince Carter-esqe leap over a Central Michigan defender — rightfully so, I might add — Missouri’s Chase Coffman’s birdman impressions were being overlooked. Thanks to the KC Star, that’s no longer the case. Of course, it was probably all the Knowshon hype that made the Star stand up and say, “hey, what about our guy?!?!”

Following someone else’s lead aside, Coffman certainly has the same kind of flair as Georgia’s Moreno; although, he probably doesn’t get as high Mark Richt’s weapon. However, Coffman actually showed off his jumping skills against Illinois AND Southeast Missouri State, whereas, his Knowshon has only done it once this season.

Advantage, Coffman.

Coffman also gets bonus points because ESPN actually showed one of his highlights. For Knowshon, not so much. At least Moreno has some badass Photoshop work to fall back on.
