As a social media influencer, the former professional golfer Paige Spiranac always makes content that brings a smile to her fans. However, the new video of her not only generates a smile but big laughter as she tries the NFL Combine drills.

Spiranac became the brand ambassador of the Australian betting company PointsBet in 2021. As an ambassador, the golfer makes interesting videos to promote the brand. This time, Spiranac chose to perform at the NFL Combine drills at D1 Training in Arizona.

At the beginning of the video, the trainer tries to measure the lower body strength of the golfer with the vertical jump test. Although Spiranac seemed confident when the trainer explained the drill, she became nervous once she began to perform it.

“I just need to visualize it,” said Paige as soon as the trainer asked her if she was ready to do it. She jumped around almost 19 inches high, which is nothing compared to the usual 35+ inches the first drafts jump. 

Spiranac had to lift 225 lbs as the second drill. Although the weight lifting made her lose all her strength, she still didn’t lose her sense of humor. That is why Paige asked the trainer whether she was “probably beating Mac Jones?” Mac Jones is the current New England Patriots quarterback.

“Is that the most unathletic thing you have ever seen?” Paige asked the trainer when she stumbled on the ground while trying to mimic his posture.
