You learn how to jump when you are just a little kid. Although the skill is definitely needed more in the NBA, it can be a very nice skill to have in the NFL as well. If you are a defensive lineman, it helps to block a quarterback's passes. If you are a safety or cornerback it is even more important to be able to jump higher than a receiver to knock down or intercept a pass. Obviously a receiver that can jump high is a great asset to an offense because a quarterback can just toss it deep in the corner and let the receiver jump up and grab it.
