JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Big guys are athletes, too.
Maybe even gymnasts.
Jaguars defensive tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter proved that after he sacked Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a 14-yard loss on a third-and-9 play from the Jaguars 11-yard line. That was Ledbetter’s first sack since the 2020 season and the 6-foot-3, 299-pound Ledbetter celebrated by doing a standing backflip.
Ever see a 300-pound man do a backflip?

He didn’t land it completely clean, but it still drew a loud cheer from the fans at EverBank Stadium. The 30-year-old Ledbetter now has 3.5 sacks in his six-year career.
