The first day of the XFL has brought some solid play and one spectacular leap.
Elijah Hood of the Los Angeles Wildcats saw a Houston defender going low while trying to make a tackle. So, the former North Carolina running back went airborne Saturday and in the process wowed FOX sideline reporter Brock Huard.
Check out the leap first:

And Huard in the background was caught on camera reacting to the hurdle.

It is a little more memorable than something labeled the “Houston Hop” after the Roughnecks scored a touchdown. Not sure if that one will stick.
The first ever 'Houston Hop.'
How are we feeling about that name? pic.twitter.com/NVQwZnMDk4
