Former NFL standouts break down Clemson's special impact on their son's commitments

Clemson's recruitment is different.

Just ask former NFL standouts Brandon Jacobs and Keith Brookings.

Jacobs and Brookings both know good football when they see it. That's because the pair lived it. Jacobs played nine seasons in the NFL, winning two Super Bowls with the New York Giants. Brookings spent 15 years with the Falcons, Cowboys, and Broncos, and was a five-time Pro Bowler.

The pair's football life has drastically changed, now guiding their sons as they aspire to make a career for themselves.

For Brayden Jacobs and Logan Brooking, that took them to Clemson.
