NFL legend Brandon Jacobs is videotaped training with his son Brayden, a freshman offensive lineman at Clemson
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'.

320.' In January 2024, Ezekiel Trezevant IV of Sports Illustrated reported that Brayden Jacobs had committed to Clemson University. 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.

Clayton Kershaw passes 3,000 strikeouts: Dodgers beat White Sox with late comeback
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw (22) tips his cap after recording his 3,000th career strike out by striking out Chicago White Sox's Vinny Capra during the sixth inning of a baseball game in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian) Clayton Kershaw needed three punch-outs on Wednesday night. He got them and entered baseball's most exclusive club. The 37-year-old sat down Chicago infielder Vinny Capra in the sixth inning, recording career strikeout number 3,000 and becoming only the twentieth pitcher, and the fourth left-hander, to reach that mark. Kershaw did it on his 100th pitch of the game, a tight slider that froze Capra. The Dodger Stadium crowd rose, teammates hugged him on the grass, and Kershaw tipped his cap before walking off to a standing ovation. The milestone is rare for another reason. Kershaw is just the third pitcher to strike out 3,000 hitters while spending his entire career with one team, joining Walter Johnson and Bob Gibson. According to Elias Sports Bureau numbers, he reached the mark in 2,787 ⅓ innings, the fourth-fastest pace in Major League history. Game turned in the ninth Los Angeles still trailed 4-2 when Kershaw left. The bats rescued the night with a three-run surge in the ninth. Shohei Ohtani's grounder tied the game, and Freddie Freeman drilled a single to right to score the winner. Final score: Dodgers 5, White Sox 4. What the milestone means Kershaw already owns three Cy Young Awards, an MVP trophy and a World Series ring. The 3,000-strikeout line fills one of the few blank spaces on his résumé. His next targets are 200 wins—he sits at 208—and a fourth trip to October glory. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 pensioenblunders om te overwegen wanneer u stopt met werken Fisher Investments Nederland Meer informatie Undo Manager Dave Roberts said he plans to keep Kershaw on a cautious workload as the Dodgers chase another division title.

Wimbledon 2025: Why do players wear all-white? Here's all you need to know
Taylor Fritz of the U.S., right, greets Gabriel Diallo of Canada at the net after winning their second round men's singles match at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Wednesday, July 2, 2025. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant) Established in 1877, Wimbledon is the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament worldwide. A strict dress code has long been part of its identity, with all clothing required to be white, except for a 10mm trim of color. Wearing all white at Wimbledon dates back to the 1870s, the Victorian era, when visible perspiration was considered improper. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Originally, the all-white rule aimed to conceal sweat marks and keep players cooler in summer, but over time it became a hallmark of Wimbledon's tradition and history. Though generally rigid, the rules have seen occasional updates. Many prominent voices in tennis, such as Billie Jean King, Judy Murray, and Heather Watson, have pointed out the discomfort white undershorts can cause for menstruating players. In response, the All England Club changed the policy in 2023, allowing players to wear dark-colored undershorts as long as they don't extend below the shorts or skirt. Dress code controversies at Wimbledon are nothing new. In 1949, Gertrude Moran drew criticism for showing visible undergarments. Andre Agassi, known for rebellious tennis attire, boycotted Wimbledon in the 1980s over its all-white dress code.

Wimbledon eased restrictions in 2023, allowing women to wear darker shorts under skirts after several players expressed concerns about wearing white shorts during their menstrual cycle. In a statement, the AELTC said, 'Prioritising women's health and supporting players based on their individual needs is very important to us, and we are in discussions with the WTA, with manufacturers, and with the medical teams about the ways in which we can do that.'

"Pragg has done very, very well for a while now," said Carlsen. "I mean, he's won three classical super tournaments this year, which is extremely impressive. The other kids, they have their ups and downs. "Normally, you would think in such a format, Alireza would be very strong. He probably has not had the best start, but I'm sure he'll be there. "Gukesh is showing signs of improvement as well. It's very hard to say who's going to do well. "But in terms of impressing me, well, that remains to be seen." Carlsen admitted after Round 1 that he was a bit rusty. "I feel like it was a little bit shaky today, especially in time trouble. Of course, in the first game, nothing really happened. In the second, I managed to eke out a win somehow against Wesley. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "Didn't really feel that I had much at all.

"In the last game, I didn't particularly mind the draw. But I also wanted to try. And I felt like I managed to get chances there out of nothing. "I don't know if I had serious winning chances. Towards the end, I was really flirting with a loss as well. But yeah, overall, the score is all right. I'll take that. But it feels a bit rusty."
