Brayden Jacobs, son of former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, towers over father in impressive workout clip
In the fall, Brayden Jacobs, the son of former NFL running back Brandon Jacobs, will take on would-be pass rushers as a freshman offensive lineman at Clemson. After seeing a workout video of Brayden from Tuesday, those opposing pass rushers might need to get back in the gym if they hope to push him around. Jacobs' father posted a video of a joint workout featuring both he and Brayden. While Brayden isn't doing anything in the clip, fans immediately noticed the massive size disparity between both men. Brayden absolutely towered over Brandon in the video. Long-time NFL fans will realize that's no small feat. Brandon was known for his immense size and powerful build. He was listed at 6-4 and 264 pounds when he starred with the Giants. For comparison's sake, Brandon is two inches taller, and 15 pounds heavier than Derrick Henry. Advertisement But in that workout video, Brandon looks pretty ordinary, if not small, next to his son. Brayden is listed by Clemson at 6-7 and 320 pounds, so the difference in height makes sense. Still, it's staggering to see Brandon, who stood out as a physical marvel during his NFL career, be overshadowed by another person. It's not the first time fans have noticed the height difference between Brandon and Brayden. Fans called it out in May after Brandon congratulated his son for graduating high school. Brandon experienced a fair amount of success over his nine seasons in the NFL. Due to his physicality, he initially served as a goal-line back before eventually taking over as the Giants' primary runner for a few seasons. His best stretch came between 2007 and 2010, when he ran for 3,756 yards and scored 33 touchdowns over a four-year period. Advertisement Injuries limited Brandon's production later in his career. After an injury-riddled season with the San Francisco 49ers in 2012, Jacobs returned to the Giants for one final season before retiring. Brayden, a four-star recruit, will hope to follow in his father's footsteps if he can develop at Clemson. While he's yet to play in an official game at the school, Brayden did suit up for the team's annual spring game in April.

NFL legend Brandon Jacobs is videotaped training with his son Brayden, a freshman offensive lineman at Clemson
(Image via Brandon Jacobs X: Brayden Jacobs working out with his father Brandon Jacobs) On July 2, Jon Blau, Clemson Athletics Reporter at The Post and Courier, shared NFL legend Brandon Jacobs' workout video. Blau captioned it: 'A reminder that Brandon Jacobs was a bruising 6-foot-4, 264-pound running back in the NFL. Reminder necessary because his son, Clemson freshman Brayden, makes him look like Darren Sproles. ' Darren Sproles is a 5-foot-6 former running back for the Philadelphia Eagles. Jacobs' son Brayden not only made him look like Sproles but also made him wait for his turn. The NFL legend was doing an advanced level of rope sit-ups, and his son was probably tired of being the rope! Why? Because he held that rope underneath his feet! Still can't picture it? Check out this video: Fans reacted to New York Giants former running back Brandon Jacobs' workout with his son, Brayden One fan wrote, 'Remind me, is his son an RB too?' - hinting at another legend in the making. While another fan commented, 'OMG what does his mother look like?' - wondering if Brandon Jacobs is 6-foot-4 and he looked like Darren Sproles before his son, Brayden, then his mother? She could or would be tall too. Another fan chimed in, 'Moms gotta be a WNBA player.' A third fan pictured Brayden Jacobs walking down his father's footsteps by playing for the New York Giants, 'Future LT or RT for the @Giants.' A fourth fan called him a computer-generated imagery - 'He looks like CGI.' A concerned fan enquired, 'What on earth did you feed that boy growing up?' A fan hunted down Brayden's profile from the Clemson Tigers' official website and wrote, '6'7'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Искате да научите повече за новото BMW 2 Gran Coupe?

He would play college football as an offensive lineman. One fan watched the father-son workout video and took it at face value, leaving a hilarious comment: 'His son looks like he was dragged into playing football instead of staying home and gaming.' But that couldn't be the case. On July 2, Stephen Douglas of Sports Illustrated reported that Brayden will be a freshman offensive lineman at Clemson this fall. What is Brandon Jacobs doing now? In June 2021, the 2-time Super Bowl Champion, Brandon Jacobs, shared with Dan Benton of USA Sports, 'I'm currently coaching high school football and running a youth program, which I'm perfectly content with doing the rest of my life.' And as the viral father-son workout video suggests, Jacobs is also coaching his son, Brayden. Not just coaching, but also staying fit himself.

Brayden Jacobs is so big he makes 6-foot-4 ex-NFL RB dad fun sized
Brandon Jacobs was an absolute nightmare for NFL defenses to tackle. At a listed 6-foot-4 and 264 pounds, he was built like an edge rusher but ran like the New York Giants once hoped Ron Dayne would. He totaled more than 5,000 rushing yards in eight seasons with New York, including a pair of 1,000-yard campaigns and two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots. 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. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Brayden Jacobs is so big he makes 6-foot-4 ex-NFL RB dad fun sized
