The pace of the NFL is rapid, but the internet accelerates things to an entirely different level. As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, all eyes will be on the New York Giants, who hold the third overall pick on April 24. It’s a golden opportunity to change the course of the franchise. Whether the team selects dynamic Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, his electrifying teammate Travis Hunter, or the dominant Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, emotions will run high. The decision will spark excitement and criticism alike, dominating headlines and sports radio chatter for days to come. But with so many franchises jockeying for position, some form of chaos is almost inevitable.
The Giants, however, will be hoping they don’t become the epicenter of that drama. Yet, with the way former running back Brandon Jacobs has been tweeting, some of the spotlight may already be shifting in an unintended direction — and it’s not necessarily in general manager Joe Schoen’s control anymore.
Jacobs recently shared a surprisingly personal and unfiltered tweet that caught fans off guard: “Y’all wanna know something that bothers me? I am 42 years old and I regret losing my virginity to the person I lost it to. It means nothing but I wish it was another person other than her.” The tweet, laced with a hint of expletive frustration, quickly made the rounds online. Fans were both amused and bewildered by the randomness of the confession, with social media users seizing the moment to crack jokes and deliver hot takes.
While the reaction was far from kind, sometimes people just feel the need to unburden themselves publicly. One can only hope the wave of NFL news this week will eventually wash away the memory of Jacobs’ tweet from the public consciousness.
Despite the odd moment, Jacobs remains a beloved figure among Giants fans for his on-field heroics. Standing at a bruising 6’4″ and 264 pounds, he played a pivotal role in both of New York’s Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots in 2007 and 2011. Over the course of his nine-year NFL career, he racked up 5,094 rushing yards and 60 touchdowns — leaving a legacy that’s hard to forget.
Safe to say, his professional accomplishments likely bring far fewer regrets than his personal reflections.
