From the feature:
On his second defensive snap in Foxborough, the rookie had put a future Hall of Famer on the ground. Jacas then helped Rodgers up, and the two exchanged helmet taps. In the crowd, Khaliq Jacas smiled.
“It’s exciting to see for sure, but it’s not a surprise on my end,” said Khaliq, Gabe’s older brother. “(It’s not) like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe he’s doing this.’ I knew he was gonna do it.”
But not long ago, Khaliq was the only one who envisioned his younger brother as an NFL player — including Gabe himself.
