JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Big guys are athletes too.
Maybe even gymnasts.
The Jaguars’ defensive tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter he proved it after firing the Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a 14-yard loss on third-and-9 from the Jaguars’ 11-yard line. It was Ledbetter’s first sack of the 2020 season, and the 6-foot-3, 299-pound Ledbetter celebrated by doing a standing backflip.
Have you ever seen a 300-pound man do a backflip?

He didn’t hit a completely clean shot, but he still drew loud applause from the fans at EverBank Stadium. Ledbetter, 30, currently has 3.5 sacks in his six-year career.
