Brandon Jacobs Extended Highlights || "Freight Train"

Former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs recently announced his intent to return to the NFL at the age of 38, hoping to transition to defensive end. This is fitting, because Brandon Jacobs was a running back who looked way more like a defensive end than he did contemporaries in the backfield.

At a towering 6 feet 4 inches tall and oftentimes weighing close to if not over 270 pounds his his career, Jacobs was a huge running back and unlike most big backs, he ran like it. Though his career was hampered by injury and he never truly got the opportunity to be the bell cow back, Jacobs had remarkably good figures in terms of rushing efficiency, both in terms of yards per carry and rushing touchdowns. Jacobs was consistently underrated as an offensive weapon and was far more than the occasional highlight truck stick.

So in honor of Jacobs’ attempt to return to the league, here’s 35 minutes of one of the scariest, angriest guys to ever tote the rock.

All rights go to the NFL and such. I did use some footage from some YouTube videos, but this video is not for profit and was merely in the interest of compilation so please don’t take offense.
