About:
Brandon Jacobs is an American football running back for the New York Giants of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played college football at Southern Illinois.
With the retirement of Tiki Barber, Jacobs took over the starting running back spot for the Giants in the 2007 season. He injured his knee in the first game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys, but returned four weeks later against the New York Jets to rush for 100 yards and a touchdown. Jacobs would miss two more games later in the season with a hamstring injury, but finish the regular season with rushing totals of 1,011 yards and four touchdowns on 201 carries. He also added 23 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns. In the playoffs, Jacobs started every game during the Giants' run to Super Bowl XLII, which they would win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots. On January 13, 2008, Jacobs scored the winning touchdown against the #1 seeded Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Divisional Playoffs.
Jacobs underwent wrist surgery during the 2008 offseason. He returned to play all of the preseason, but missed two games in the regular season due to recurring difficulty with his knee. He finished the 2008 regular season with 219 carries for 1089 yards and 15 touchdowns, similar yardage to 2007, but many more touchdowns. In 2008, he and Derrick Ward became the fifth pair of teammates to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.
