We quizzed Brandon Jacobs on the plans for a virtual meet n greet with 2 other Super Bowl Champions and a Pro Bowler slated for next Saturday, May 16th. Here’s the transcript from that interview;

Q

Brandon thanks for joining me today. Your event is next Saturday, May 16th. So, tell me a little about it?

A

Thanks for having me here. I’m teaming up with Hakeem Nicks, Willis McGahee, and Bryant Mckinnie we are doing a virtual camp for fans and kids and we’ll be answering questions afterward for a special meet n greet that will be hosted by Bonnie Bernstein.

Q

I’m curious about how did this all come about. Can you touch a bit on that?

A

For like a month now, my team at 123 Talent has been in discussion with me and Willis on the possibility of doing a camp event. But we want this to be something more like we wanted other players to join alongside the two of us. We were trying to get the right players on board. With Hakeem and Bryant, you know, we can train and teach, and do our part to give back. And as you know, we'll also be using the event to raise some money towards COVID-19 victims as well.

Q

Impressive! But I feel like it will be a lot of challenge getting four pro ballers of your stature to participate in this event. Must be a lot of moving parts? Can you shine some light on that?

A

You do know I’m a coach and I work with people every other day. I manage people and know how to get people to come together for a cause like this. But then, having Jeff Krauss of IE Group help plan this has also made everything alot easier than it normally would have been. That’s a huge  plus.

Q

So, what can people expect from this?

A

It’s the variety and all that will make this interesting. We’ll all be doing different types of drills and positions so you can imagine what that means. This is why we wanted to have more players from the start so we can bring variety to the table for our fans.

Q

Thanks, Brandon for taking the time for this discussion.

I’m wishing you all good luck with the event.
