In 2020, Jake came home from being a bigshot NFL player to face-off against other Quad Cities Area celebrities in the 2Dorks Celebrity Pinewood Derby. There's still debate on whether or not he truly won because his car was overweight in the post-race weigh-in.

On January 12th this year, he signed on to the active roster for the Los Angeles Rams, playing in multiple games at the end of the season.

Jake played in the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers on January 30th, when the team secured their position in Super Bowl LVI.
