In a bizarre way to show off NFL-level athleticism, free-agent linebacker Shaquil Barrett recently leapt out of his chair to avoid a projectile poop from his infant daughter.
The messy incident played out some time this week, thanks to at-home camera footage posted by Jordanna Barrett, Shaquil's wife.
The Barrett parents are seen changing a diaper for who appears to be their youngest child, Amaiah, when Shaquil pulls out a baby wipe to clean up his daughter.
As he is about to apply the wipe, Amaiah starts to loudly poop, with a second noise being the projectile fecal matter.
Barrett launches himself up in the air out of his recliner and lands high on the chair, avoiding where the poop landed on the edge of the seat.
Jordanna immediately falls over laughing and could not control her hysterics as Shaquil waddled out of the frame insisting he was going to take a shower.

It is unclear whether any of the poop got on Barrett and whether he wad cleaning off as a precaution.
Either way, the presence of mind to launch himself out of the air and not hurt himself, while toppling over his chair, shows why he played in the NFL for over a decade.
Barrett is a two-time Super Bowl champion, winning one ring each with the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Barrett's last few years have been heartbreaking. His 2-year-old daughter Arrayah drowned in the family swimming pool in April 2023. The couple has six children.
Last year, four months after Barrett retired from the NFL, he made a comeback, playing in one game for the Buccaneers.
Barrett cited his family life for the sudden retirement, with his move away from football coming months after signing with the Miami Dolphins, who held his contractual rights.
Barrett was not retained by Tampa Bay and has not been signed by another team this season.
