Jacoby Brissett decided to get real when asked about his new center.
When asked about working with his new center, Brissett explained the quarterback-center exchange in the most honest way possible. He said;
I’m trying to feel his butt.
That was it. No filter. No warning. Just football answers.
Immediately, reporters froze. Fans blinked. Twitter grabbed popcorn because while football people understand exactly what he meant, everyone else heard it and said, “Excuse me?”
For education purposes, the QB-center relationship is very hands-on. The quarterback lines up directly behind the center. He puts his hands under the center. He waits for the snap. Timing matters. Pressure matters. Comfort matters. And apparently, butt awareness matters too.
Brissett wasn’t being weird. He was being technical. He was talking about feel, balance, and timing. He was talking about chemistry. Unfortunately, he chose the funniest possible wording in human history.
Social media ran wild. Memes popped up instantly. Jokes flew everywhere. Some fans laughed. Some fans cringed. Others pretended they didn’t hear it while secretly laughing the hardest.
The best part is how calm Brissett was when he said it. No smirk. No laugh. Just a man explaining his job. Like he was discussing footwork or play calls. Pure professionalism. Zero awareness of the chaos he unleashed.
You have to respect it. He didn’t dodge the question. He didn’t clean it up. He didn’t say “you know what I mean” and move on. He leaned in. Literally and verbally.
In a league full of cliches, Jacoby Brissett gave us something fresh. Something real. Something that will be replayed on sports shows for weeks.
So next time you watch a game and see a quarterback under center, remember this moment. Remember the bond. And remember that football, at its core, is a game of inches, timing, and apparently, feeling the butt.
