Jacobs, who was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, became the first ever rookie for the Raiders to rush for over 1000 yards.
1,000 rushing yards and counting.

Jacobs is the 21st player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards over his first 12 career games. As if that’s not impressive enough, he’s also currently ranked fifth in the NFL in yards after contact with 715 (YAC) through 12 weeks.

Jacobs is also in the running for the NFL Rookie of the Year Award, and let’s just say, he’s certainly more than deserving.
