Gentlemen, meet Terron Beckham:
He's the cousin of Odell Beckham Jr., also known as He Who Pulled Off The Greatest One-Handed Catch of All Time. To which we say: There are two guys running around with that kind of athletic ability?!
But believe it or not, Terron is a bit of an underdog to play ball in the NFL. He's never played football in any organized sense—not even in high school—although that didn't stop Antonio Gates from becoming an all-star. But Terron has been a personal trainer for the past few years, as he's obviously honed his craft to the point of near-superhuman physical power and speed. To wit: his numbers in the vertical leap and bench press would reportedly have been first in the Combine for a declared running back, which he wants to play.
So even if this guy doesn't make the NFL cut—which seems hard to believe—this guy's clearly got a career as an athlete in front of him. Hell, is it too late to get this guy in the CrossFit Games?
Here's some of the video from his Pro Day at TEST Football Academy in Martinsville, New Jersey, where several NFL scouts were reportedly in attendance.
Bench Press
Yes, that's 36 reps at 225.

Vertical Leap
Beckham nails this 44.5-inch vertical.
Beckham re-jumped.
He hit 44.5 inches on the vertical. #Raiders, #Giants, #Jets here to watch pic.twitter.com/FaBXl0zN4r— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) April 7, 2016
Broad Jump
If this guy can hit 11 feet from standing, imagine what he can do when he gets a running start.

Pass-Catching
All that athleticism doesn't mean much if he doesn't have hands, right? Fortunately, it seems he does:

Some context from Bleacher Report NFL analyst Brent Sobleski:
Just realized Terron Beckham would have finished 1st among ALL prospects in vertical AND bench at NFL combine if posted same numbers there
