Some blessings can be hard to spot when they first happen. Take for instance, when Jerry Jacobs tore his ACL in 2019.
A junior at Arkansas State at the time, Jacobs hurt his right knee when he landed wrong while breaking up a pass to George Pickens against Georgia.
Jacobs said his knee felt weird at the time, but he walked off the field under his own power and had no clue how serious it was until trainers checked his leg in the X-ray room at Georgia’s Sanford Stadium.
“They said it was a torn ACL,” Jacobs said.
