For anyone who has followed the NFL over the past decade or so, you know the name Brandon Jacobs. The former monster-sized running back was nearly impossible to bring down on the first try, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 265 pounds. He was scary in the backfield for the Giants.
Now, he has a son who's headed to Clemson to play football. Brayden Jacobs is going to be a freshman offensive lineman for the Tigers in 2025.
The former blue-chip recruit and son of NFL star Brandon Jacobs is also known for his size. In fact, he stands 6-foot-8 and weighs over 300 pounds. That's pretty big, but considering his dad was one of the biggest running backs to ever play the sport, it's not surprising.
But wait until you see how cartoon-ish it looks with Brandon and Brayden standing side-by-side.
6’8” but who’s counting?! https://t.co/qVAJsuMxZQ

As you can see, Brandon is doing some weight training with his son and it looks like he's a little kid standing next to the incoming Clemson freshman. He legitimately looks like Brayden's son who's just trying to get his attention. It's comical how much larger the younger Jacobs is.
Brandon was known for making fellow NFL players look small in comparison and now his son is doing just that to him. It's hard to believe, after watching this video, that he was known for being a massive running back and trucking NFL defenders regularly.
There should be plenty of excitement surrounding Brayden's time at Clemson because he's going to manhandle defenders in the trenches for years to come.
