Legacy: Two-time Super Bowl Champion (XLII, XLVI)

There was nothing better than watching Brandon Jacobs truck defenders while he was a NY Giant.

The ‘Earth’ in ‘Earth, Wind and Fire’ – Jacobs specialty was putting defenders in the dirt. Don’t let that fool you though – he also had good speed and receiving abilities that he would put on display.

Before the David Tyree catch, Jacobs had a key fourth down conversion the keep the game-winning drive alive in Super Bowl XLII. He rushed for over 1,000 yards twice in his tenure, but he’ll always be remembered as one of the key players on two Super Bowl winning teams.
