Brayden Jacobs is so big he makes 6-foot-4 ex-NFL RB dad fun sized
This is all to say it's very difficult to make him look small. So if the soon-to-be 43-year-old running back is worried about that, maybe he should stop working out with his son, Brayden.
Brayden Jacobs is a 6-foot-7 offensive tackle who committed to Clemson University as a high four-star recruit last January. And maybe the perspective or dad Brandon's weighted jumping form is playing tricks on me, but he certainly looks like he may have grown since his last official weigh-in. So let's see if that's just a camera tr--
Hmmm. Nope. That's just a big dude. The Jacobs genes produce tiny mountains who absolutely should never fly coach. Well, good luck getting around that, ACC pass rushers.

Does Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Rank Top 10 in Madden 26?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jalen Hurts continues to deal with doubters, despite finding success at the highest level this year. The Super Bowl MVP's status as a Top 10 quarterback in the NFL has been debated plenty this offseason. What do the Madden 26 creators think? Hurts is Top 10, but well outside of the Top 5. On Thursday, Madden announced the ten-best QBs in the game. Hurts ranks eighth with an 86 rating. Justin Herbet, who ranks seventh, carries the same overall. Just behind Hurts is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran Baker Mayfield, who holds an 85 rank. The Eagles' NFC East rival, Jayden Daniels, has the same overall as Mayfield, placing 10th on the list. In front of Hurts and Herbert are Jared Goff (87), Matthew Stafford (88), Patrick Mahomes (95), Joe Burrow (97), and then Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, who are among the very few players to crack the game's 99 club. The Eagles have two members in the mix with them in Saquon Barkley and Lane Johnson. Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on against the New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome on September 22, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on against the New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome on September 22, 2024 in New Orleans, season, Hurts is heading into year six with the Eagles. Since his second season, he's been the surefire starter for the Eagles. Although he went through some notable growing pains through his first 30 games, Hurts turned into an MVP candidate by year three. Despite the MVP campaign in 2022, Hurts has struggled to earn respect as a top quarterback from the masses. In 2024, Hurts played in 15 games. He posted his lowest yearly passing yardage with 2,903 yards off 248 completions. It was the first time he failed to exceed 3,000 yards in three seasons. He also tossed for just 18 touchdowns after throwing over 20 in his past two seasons. The Eagles ran plenty in 2024, thanks to the presence of Saquon Barkley. The star running back helped the Eagles as a team, but issued Hurts' critics plenty of ammo. Many believed that Hurts wouldn't be as successful in 2024 without Barkley. But Hurts' playoff numbers were nothing to overlook. In four games, Hurts threw for 726 yards, along with five touchdowns. As the Kansas City Chiefs zeroed in on stopping Barkley, the Eagles' offense had to rely on Hurts' quarterbacking to help take them to the Super Bowl winner's stage. An MVP-worthy performance came to life. Hurts has the accolades to prove he's one of the top QBs in the game. He might not start near the top of Madden 26, but a strong campaign throughout 2025 could help the Eagles quarterback improve his rating over time.

NFL finalizing deal to take stake in ESPN, hand over RedZone
The NFL and ESPN are finalizing their long-awaited deal by which the Disney-owned sports network would receive league media properties, including NFL Network and RedZone, and the NFL is expected to receive an equity stake in ESPN, according to two people with knowledge of the deliberations. Barring any last-minute complications, the deal could be officially completed and announced as soon as next week, according to those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because no agreement has been announced. The Walt Disney Company is scheduled to announce its quarterly earnings Wednesday. The NFL and ESPN declined to comment. The Athletic reported earlier Friday that the two sides have agreed to the deal. Those familiar with the deal described it as highly complex and said the final remaining issues involved legal considerations related to governmental approvals. They characterized the deal as all but completed, with the finishing touches being applied. ESPN would add to its inventory of regular season games by getting those carried by the NFL Network. The addition of RedZone, which allows viewers to watch key plays from Sunday afternoon games, was considered a key component of the deal, according to the people with knowledge of the negotiations. CNBC reported last month that the deal would involve the NFL taking an equity stake of up to 10 percent in ESPN. It was not clear Friday exactly how large that stake will be. The deal comes as ESPN prepares to launch a direct-to-consumer streaming service. ESPN already holds the broadcast rights to the NFL's 'Monday Night Football' package. Disney pays the NFL about $2.7 billion per year for the Monday night package. ESPN and Disney-owned ABC have the broadcast rights to two Super Bowls, the first at the conclusion of the 2026 season. The NFL announced a set of broadcasting and streaming deals in March 2021 worth more than $110 billion in rights fees over 11 years. The NFL's team owners previously were alerted that the league might schedule a special owners' meeting in August, apparently related to the potential deal with ESPN. It was not clear Friday whether such a meeting will take place. It would be the third straight year in which the NFL held a special owners' meeting in July or August. The previous two such meetings took place in the Minneapolis area. The owners voted at a July 2023 meeting to approve the $6.05 billion sale of the Washington Commanders from Daniel Snyder to a group led by private equity investor Josh Harris. They voted at a meeting last August to ratify a measure to allow private equity funds to purchase minority ownership stakes in NFL franchises.
