Former New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs overwhelmed opposing defenses with his massive 6-foot-4 and 264-pound frame, using it to help his club win two Super Bowl championships in the Eli Manning-Tom Coughlin era.
But if you thought Brandon Jacobs was imposing as a football player with his size and strength, wait until you see his son at Clemson this year. Brayden Jacobs, 18, is a freshman offensive lineman listed at 6-foot-7 and 320 pounds.
The two-time Super Bowl champion posted a video of himself and Brayden working out together, and boy, does the elder Jacobs look tiny beside his son:

It’s like watching Batista vs. The Big Show in WWE back in the 2000s. The wrestler-turned-actor was a shredded and imposing force himself, but he looked tiny in the ring compared to “The World’s Largest Athlete.”
Brandon Jacobs played for the Giants from 2005 to 2011 and for the San Francisco 49ers in 2012 before returning to New York for his final season in 2013. Jacobs retired with 5,094 rushing yards and 60 touchdowns, exceeding the 1,000-yard mark in 2007 and 2008.
Jacobs was also a beast in the Giants’ Super Bowl 42 championship run, recording 197 yards and three touchdowns. He got a huge fourth-and-one conversion on the game-winning drive of Super Bowl 42 against the New England Patriots, moments before the iconic “Helmet Catch” with David Tyree.
Brayden Jacobs’ Tigers will kick off their 2025 season against LSU on Aug. 30 (4:30 p.m. EST). After that, they’ll conclude the mini two-game homestand against Troy on Sept. 6.
Four running backs sit ahead of Jacobs on the franchise rushing yards leaderboard, but the big man himself sits alone in first place with 60 rushing touchdowns. Tiki Barber is second on that list with 55, even though he played 47 more games than Jacobs.
