Former Alabama running back Josh Jacobs was known for his ability to run fast, be light on his feet and hit hard. Well, those skills have followed him to the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders.
In today’s contest against the Atlanta Falcons, Jacobs showcased his ability to hit hard on a run.
With the ball tucked away, Jacobs had a one-on-one look against a Falcons defender. He lowered his shoulder and lifted him up, sending the defender flying back a few yards.
This is nothing new for Jacobs, he’s been making headlines for his downhill-style of running since the 2018 Orange Bowl when he seemingly ran through a Sooners’ defender that stood between him and the end zone.
You can watch Jacobs’ play from today below:
