"There was a backflip down the hill. I know everyone is saying he does the backflips. But I think the first time was in 2013 or 2014, we just finished practice and he did a backflip going down the hill in full gear leaving practice. Just talking nonchalant like, 'I’ll do a backflip right now,' and then turned around and did it going down the hill." Dont'a Hightower to Jeff Howe
