Wildcats’ Elijah Hood wows FOX’s Brock Huard with hurdling ability

XFL running back Elijah Wood of the Wildcats showed some hops in the first half of the game against Houston

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.
