Remember Sam McGuffie? If you've ever fallen down an Internet rabbit hole of high school football highlights, you probably know the name.

McGuffie ran for more than 1,500 yards during a college career split between Michigan and Rice. He landed on a few NFL practice squads and stuck with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for a full season. But the former running back is best remembered for hurdling and flipping his way through Texas high school defenses and millions of YouTube hits.

His newest adventure has McGuffie leaping again, this time into a bobsled.
