Josh Jacobs stands up for teammate Derek Carr on Twitter

Raiders running back Josh Jacobs responds to a critical tweet about Derek Carr, as some fans look to move on.

Former Alabama star running back Josh Jacobs had quite the rookie season in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders, such a good season that many football fans were upset when he wasn’t named Offensive Rookie of the Year.

While playing for the Crimson Tide, Jacobs was often seen as a quiet player who put his focus on getting the job done on the field. Since playing on a professional level, he has been more vocal on social media, done commercials and even had the opportunity to tell his story.

The former Alabama running back took to Twitter to send out the message “Hella disappointed” — which was seemingly about the passing of the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement.

And to make matters more interesting, over 500 players did not even vote.

The timing of this tweet makes sense when seeing several retweets Jacobs had around that same time. That, however, did not stop fans from speculating and poking fun at the team’s veteran quarterback Derek Carr.

One Twitter user makes it clear that he’s not the biggest fan of the Raiders franchise signal caller. In fact, there is a sizable portion of the Raiders fanbase who believe it is time to move on.

Jacobs, because of the type of person he’s proven to be, stepped in to defend the quarterback he shares a backfield with.

Jacobs responding by telling the fan to “stop disrespecting that man” tells us that he’s supportive of Carr’s role in the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders.

Heading into Year Two of his NFL career, there are a lot of people who are excited to see how Jacobs can add onto an already impressive resume.
