James Allen "Jumpy" Geathers (born June 26, 1960 in Georgetown, South Carolina) is a former American football defensive lineman. He played defensive tackle at Wichita State University, and then for thirteen seasons in the National Football League (New Orleans Saints 1984-1989, Washington Redskins 1990-1993, Atlanta Falcons 1994-1995, and Denver Broncos 1996). He was a part of the Redskins team that won Super Bowl XXVI. At 6' 7" and 290 pounds he was a forceful pass rusher, famous for his "forklift" rush, in which he picked up his blocker and carried him to the quarterback. He retired with 62 sacks in 183 games. Jumpy attended Choppee High School located in Georgetown, South Carolina.
