calf/achilles tendon length and vertical leap

Some people's calves are so low with very short achilles tendon.  Some people's calves (especially certain african americans with certain physiques) are so high that you almost don't see them.  Their calves are almost the same width as their ankles.  It seems like these type of people can leap out of the gym naturally.  Is this true? and why?
