Ex-Giants running back Brandon Jacobs won two Super Bowls with the franchise, where he played from 2005 to 2011, and again in 2013.
Jacobs, who is 6-4 and weighs 250-plus pounds, recalled the details leading up to his career game which he earned as a member of the Assumption high school (Napoleonville, La.) football team after trying “that white girl” — what he and his young friends called cocaine.
“It was one of my homeboys that graduated the year before me,” Jacobs explained during a recently resurfaced episode ofRaw Room. “I was walking into the weight room and he was like, ‘Hey, look what I got.’ ... ‘I got that white girl’ ... I was like, ‘Yeah, let me try it.’ (I had) 338 (yards), four touchdowns. (I) killed it. I destroyed it. It was easy. I felt like I was the only one out there.”

Luckily for Jacobs, he says he never revisited the dangerous substance, but he imagines the stats he could have logged if he had indulged more heavily.
“I never did it again,” Jacobs said. “I should’ve done it again.”
Jacobs, who played for the San Francisco 49ers in 2012, has 5,094 rushing yards, 60 rushing touchdowns, a 4.5-yard per rush average, 743 receiving yards and four touchdown grabs over his nine-year NFL career.
The Giants drafted Jacobs with the 110th pick in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
“Imagine trying to tackle this (guy) on cocaine,” joked co-host and veteran NFL cornerback Jalen Collins. “What are we talking about? C’mon, he’s got a bald head. He don’t care. He doesn’t care.”
