Brandon Jacobs NFL return: Tim Tebow Brandon Jacobs reference sends NFL fans into a frenzy

On Thursday, former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs took to social media to announce that he is planning a stunning return to the NFL. "Well since [Tim] Tebow came back after being off a good bit, I am announcing today that I (too) will come back," Jacobs tweeted. "I will play defensive end for whatever team gives me a chance!!!"

Tebow is getting a second chance in the NFL as a tight end, a position he has never played, because his college coach, Urban Meyer, now is coaching the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Tebow hasn’t played an NFL regular-season game since 2012 and Jacobs highlighted that he too is planning to change his position when he returns. Yet, the Brandon Jacobs NFL return is set to excite many fans.

In another tweet, the Giants icon added that he was being serious about his NFL return, taking a sly dig at Tebow in the process, "I am really serious about coming back as a defensive end,” Jacobs wrote. “I can still run, I am strong and there’s no way Tim Tebow is a better athlete than I am. I just need a shot that’s it!! If I can’t cut it I’ll take it like a man. Just give me one chance that’s all!!"
