Jacobs is a two-time Super Bowl champion, both with the Giants. He helped the Giants win Super Bowl XLII and XLVI, both over the New England Patriots. Over his nine seasons he collected 5,094 rushing yards and 60 rushing touchdowns.
He has no NFL experience at the defensive end position, yet wants to return to the field on defense after not playing for eight years. He cited Tim Tebow’s return to the NFL after a decade of inaction. Jacobs’ second tweet on the subject stated, “…there’s no way he is a better athlete than I am.”
However serious the 38-year-old is about his return is up in the air, but his second tweet stated as much. Stay tuned to TGH to see more NFL breaking news, including news about a potential Brandon Jacobs signing.
