Former Giant Brandon Jacobs' son shocks fans in photo towering over his Super Bowl winning dad

The apple didn’t just fall far from the tree; it outgrew it.

New York Giants legend Brandon Jacobs was recognized as one of the most sizable running backs to ever play on the gridiron — towering at an impressive 6 feet, 4 inches and weighing 260 pounds at his peak.

However, fans couldn’t believe how tiny the two-time Super Bowl champ looked in a picture of himself standing next to his gigantic 18-year-old son.

“My guy is done with High School!!” the retired running back proudly captioned a post on X Friday, featuring a picture next to his 6 feet, 7 inches, 320 pounds son, Brayden, after his graduation ceremony from Milton High School in Georgia.

While most comments praised the recent high school grad and proud father, some couldn’t help but point out how small Jacobs looked next to his son.

“How are your kids BIGGER than you??? Great pic… proud moment,” one user questioned.

“I was like who is that short dude next to that Giant (no pun intended),” another user wrote.

“Aint no way he makes Brandon Jacobs look small..,” commented another.

Some even had a bit of playful fun at the proud father’s expense, jokingly confusing him with his former teammate and determined ball carrier Ahmad Bradshaw — who was 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 look like Ahmad Bradshaw,” another pointed out.

While many were shocked by how large Brayden is compared to his dad, it was less surprising to find out that the 18-year-old is following in his father’s footsteps.

Brayden was a four-star offensive lineman prospect, ranked as the No. 51 prospect in the nation coming out of high school by 247Sports.

In January, the talented teen signed on to play at Clemson University in the fall.

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 was never in doubt he would end up a Tiger.

“Once he came to Clemson, it was over. He was like, ‘I really like it there. I really like 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 point, so he went top five, with South Carolina. I’m like, ‘OK, so what are you thinking?’ He was like, ‘I think I’m going to Clemson,’” the proud father recalled.

The Giants legend said he could not be prouder that his son chose to play for Clemson — despite once playing for one of the school’s rivals, the University of Auburn, in 2003.

“The thing I like about Clemson more than any other school that I’ve been a part of and I’ve seen how the recruiting process works, Clemson is the same after signing as they are before signing,” Jacobs said.

“They treat you the same. There’s no difference.”
