Brian Poole finds football that was taken from him after pick-6

Jets cornerback Brian Poole found his football that was taken from him after he scored a pick-6 in the Jets’ win over the Raiders.

The search for Brian Poole’s pick-six ball is over.

Poole posted on Twitter Tuesday night that his ball that was taken from him after he intercepted it and returned it for a touchdown has been found. The play halfway through the third quarter when Derek Carr threw a pass that was tipped and landed in Poole’s hands, who took it to the house to give the Jets a 34-3 lead.

On Monday, Poole posted to Twitter that he was searching for the person who had the ball and would exchange it for a signed jersey. A New York City strip club also offered VIP access to every Jets home game for life in exchange for the ball. There’s no telling what motivated the ball thief, but the pigskin is back in Poole’s possession.

The 27-year-old Poole is having the best year of any Jets cornerback. In 11 games, Poole has 50 combined tackles, one safety, five pass defenses and the pick-six.

It was a special moment for Poole, as he had never had a pick-six in his NFL career until Sunday. That one will surely go in his trophy case.

Brian Poole, NYC strip club offering rewards for cornerback’s stolen pick-6 ball

New York Jets CB Brian Poole is launching an all-out search to retrieve the ball from his first career touchdown with some assistance.

Jets cornerback Brian Poole has launched an all-out search to retrieve the ball from his first career touchdown, and he has the help of a New York City strip club.

Poole just wants his pick-six ball back after it was snatched from him by a Jets fan wearing a Darrelle Revis jersey during Sunday’s game. The fan plucked the football out of Poole’s hands as he was celebrating his first career touchdown, having returned an interception for a score in the Jets’ 34-3 victory over the Raiders.

Poole opened up his own search on Twitter, pleading the fan to give the football back in exchange for a signed jersey.

 

From there, it wasn’t long before teammates, Twitter sleuths and a mattress company joined the search party. A New York City strip club is even offering the person who stole ball free VIP access for every Jets home game for life, according to The Daily News’ Manish Mehta.

Whoever was wearing the Jets No. 24 jersey ought to come forward, because the offers from Poole and others are too good to pass up. The man just wants his touchdown back.
