Following Kia’s emotional and heartwarming Super Bowl Sunday commercial featuring former Alabama and current Oakland Raiders’ running back Josh Jacobs, Kia released a documentary about Jacobs.
Last week, Kia released their commercial featuring Jacobs.
Many people know Jacobs’ story. He grew up homeless, at times even living with his four siblings in his father’s car. But he overcame those obstacles. He quickly became a household name while at Alabama as he impressed the world with his talents. He finished his career at Alabama with over 1400 rushing yards and 16 TDS as well as 571 receiving yards and 5 receiving TDs. Simply put, Jacobs played his heart out, and it showed. But it was more than that. It was his story that inspired so many. It was his passion, hard work ethic, and grit that helped him quickly rise and become a first round draft pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
His rookie year was nothing short of impressive, and it’s a big reason why he’s was named the PFWA’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. This season, he rushed for 1,150 yards and 7 TDs. But his stats don’t show all. He’s made huge plays consistently, and helped revamp a team who has been struggling for quite a while.
