The apple didn’t just fall removed from the tree; it outgrew it.
Latest York Giants legend Brandon Jacobs was often known as certainly one of the biggest running backs ever to hold the ball on the gridiron — standing at a staggering 6 feet, 4 inches and weighing 260 kilos in his prime.
Nonetheless, fans couldn’t consider how tiny the two-time Super Bowl champ looked in an image of himself standing next to his gigantic 18-year-old son.
“My guy is finished with High School!!” the retired running back proudly captioned a post on X Friday with an image standing beside his 6 feet, 7 inches, 320 kilos, Brayden, following his graduation ceremony from Milton High School in Georgia.
While most comments praised the recent highschool grad and proud father, some couldn’t help but indicate how small Jacobs looked next to his son.
“How are your kids BIGGER than you??? Great pic… proud moment,” one user questioned.
“I used to be like who’s that short dude next to that Giant (no pun intended),” one other user wrote.
“Aint no way he makes Brandon Jacobs look small..,” commented one other.
Some even poked some playful fun on the proud father, jokingly mistaking him for his former teammate and hard-nosed ball carrier Ahmad Bradshaw — who stood at 5 feet, 10 inches while sharing carries with Jacobs on the Giants.
“Congratulations!!! Who’s the short guy on the left? Ahmad Bradshaw????” one commenter quipped.
“He makes you seem like Ahmad Bradshaw,” one other identified.
While many were shocked by how large Brayden is in comparison with his dad, it was less surprising to seek out out that the 18-year-old is following in his father’s footsteps.
Brayden was a four-star offensive lineman prospect, ranked because the No. 51 prospect within the nation coming out of highschool by 247Sports.
In January, the talented teen signed on to play at Clemson University in the autumn.
Jacobs, who appeared on the Clemson football podcast “2 Right Turns” with former Broncos linebacker Keith Brooking earlier this month, said Brayden “had 35 offers” to play elsewhere in college, but it surely was never doubtful he would find yourself a Tiger.
“Once he got here to Clemson, it was over. He was like, ‘I actually prefer it there. I actually prefer it there.’ So [I said] OK, ‘Give me your top three schools.’ He was like, Clemson, LSU, Alabama and Tennessee was in it at the purpose, so he went top five, with South Carolina. I’m like, ‘OK, so what are you pondering?’ He was like, ‘I believe I’m going to Clemson,’” the proud father recalled.
The Giants legend said he couldn’t be prouder that his son selected to play for Clemson — despite once playing for certainly one of the varsity’s rivals, the University of Auburn, in 2003.
“The thing I like about Clemson greater than some other school that I’ve been an element of and I’ve seen how the recruiting process works, Clemson is identical after signing as they’re before signing,” Jacobs said.
“They treat you a similar. There’s no difference.”
