You could say that the Jacobsen family has a thing for football. Jarrett, along with two of his younger siblings, finished in first place in Saturday’s NFL Punt, Pass & Kick competition. He racked up 241 total yards on the day. Jarrett and the Jacobsens will get to compete in a sectional competition Oct. 20, at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ training facility — this time for the chance to compete nationally.
