Dexter McDonald (born November 30, 1991) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Kansas Jayhawks and was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL draft.
On March 25, 2015, McDonald worked out at Kansas' pro day, where he wowed scouts by jumping higher than the measuring device could measure. After several adjustments and re-jumps, the scouts credited him with a 40.5 inch standing vertical jump. He then created more buzz by recording an 11'-2" broad jump.
