 Alright everybody, how are we? What is going on? Welcome back to another video. Today's video we're going to crack back into football reactions. I don't know where to start, I really don't. There is so many videos that I've seen, I've come across. I've saved my watch later, folder on YouTube, I've written them down, I've screen-shotted videos. There is so many, so many requests, which I love by the way. So many videos I've seen that I want to react to, I want to watch. I've got fucking video ideas coming out my ears. But what I haven't had is a positive mindset to be able to crack into these videos guys, because you need that, you need that positive mindset. So this morning, for example, I've woken up, I've gone and had a shower, I've had a coffee, I've brushed my hair back, I've shaved my face, and I'm feeling fucking good. And this is, that's the start. That's what you need to do before breaking out the camera and before reacting to these videos. So I've done what I need to do this morning. I'm in as good of a headspace as I possibly can be. And so here we are. Every time I think about cracking back into reactions, I always think, okay, running backs. And there is one name that has been brought up to me many, many times. And his name is Josh Jacobs. And I think this name has stuck out to me because of the fact that it's a bit of alliteration. Also the fact that it has my name in there as a last name. And he's running back. So he played for the Raiders, he plays for the Raiders. I believe he's a rookie, yet he has been killing it as a rookie. So he's starting running back as a rookie, which doesn't happen very often. I can't remember where he went in the draft. Although I do believe he may have been in the top 20? Top 20? Because I think I was waiting for a running back while watching the draft. And, you know, it wasn't coming, it wasn't coming, then it finally did. That's just off the top of my head. But anyway. 2019 Annabelle Draft. You know, Quinn Raiders select. Josh Jacobs. Running back. Yeah! Yeah! Running back. Boom! And he's got my name as a last name. The power of social media, my friends. Did I hit it hard enough? Let's try. Because at Alabama, he's in the backfield, he's in the slot, you could split him out wide. 15 touchdowns last year, that's decent. First running back in 2019, NFL draft, Josh Jacobs. Let's see. Nice little in and out. Gets past him. Yep, inside him. See ya. Got some nice footwork on the go. And he's still got there. Oh, shit! Charles Davis. This is the best running back in this year's draft class. And to me, it's a classic fit there with both Rudy and Mike Mayock. Josh Jacobs. Not only has he been killing it, but I feel like he's been injured. But I also feel as though his story to get where he's at is amazing. Something along the lines of beating cancer. Here we are. This fella, he might be 22, 23 years old. He's already gone through hell of a lot in his life. And here he is killing it in the NFL for the Raiders under Coach Gruden. I want better fucking execution. And, you know, I just want to learn about it. I want to see what's happening. I want to see how fast he is. I want to see some jukes. I don't know how he speaks. You know, this is something I always talk about, is that I hear a name and I see a face, but I don't see anything else. And it's like a lot of these people out there, these couch commentators, fucking couch coaches, will throw out opinions and talk about these guys like they know them, but they really don't. And so I will never, ever, ever allow myself to do that. You know what I mean? I'll always have to do my research. I'll always play devil's advocate. I'll always give them the benefit of the doubt if need be. And that's what we're going to do today. So with that being said, it's three minutes and 30 seconds of me talking shit. I don't have an intro at the moment, so we're just going to crack into it, guys. Josh Jacobs following that. There is another name. Hunter Renfro. Good old Renfro. After seeing him at the combine, he actually, I noticed him more so than any other player because of the fact that he was probably the closest to me as far as stature, as far as size, probably as far as speed. I don't know about hand size though, because I do remember he had a hand size of nine inches, which is tiny. I think he's about five foot 10 under 200 pounds and white. So we're definitely going to have to check out him. Two Raiders players, two rookies, Josh Jacobs and Hunter Renfro. All right, well, let's have a look at this. So all right, so it's said from homelessness to becoming a 2019 NFL draft first round pick. I think he went pick number 20 just off the top of my head. And if I got that right, that's good on me. But there is nothing about beating cancer. So I'm not sure about that call. Let's watch. Wow. For Josh Jacobs. Wow. On the day of the NFL draft. Gives me shivers already, man. You know, knowing everything he's come through to get to this point, he's suiting up ready for the draft. He's put in all the work today's the day. And then he gets drafted as the first running back in the class of 2019. It's less about the time to wait. Who do you play for in college? Most of it, before he ever reached a field. Alabama, right? Is it my life, Josh Jacobs? He looks like a boost. Honestly, he never thought about going to NFL or anything like that. Hey, man. First things first, we hear him speak. It's so very important. And you know what I always think is these guys, these guys don't even get allowed to play football in college unless their grades are at a certain standard. Although the more that I delve into college football, I realise that they do get some favours. But I'm not exactly sure how that works, and I'm sure every single school is different. But they need to have some sort of, you know, smarts about them to even get through college. Anyways, guys, that is enough of me talking. Let's get into this. Growing up, I ain't have nobody to look up to in this position. Josh Jacobs grew up on the north side of Tulsa, Oklahoma with four siblings. Oklahoma? Alabama, Oklahoma? 2006, when he was eight years old, his parents separated. His father, Marty, would eventually get custody of all five children. When I got custody of all kids, I was in my room by myself. But I sat there, and I asked God, I said, OK, I got these guys by myself. And I said, I don't know what to do. Fuck, bro! What a legend stepping up like that, man. And asking God for the help he needs. You know, sometimes I feel like asking God, but I don't have a relationship with him. So I can't really do that. I said, I'm already struggling. And the only thing I heard is, clear as day, he said, protect their destiny. Long on faith and finding work the best he could, Marty struggled financially. At times, he and his children were without any permanent place to call home. Mostly, we were living out of a car. And literally, we'll pack everything in the car. And when we get to the hotel, unpack everything and then pack everything that morning. That's how I normalised a lot of things, growing up. Like, I never thought like, damn, I'm sleeping in a car. What does that mean? It would have just been with his four siblings, you know what I mean? It would have just been family. That's how it is. Every kid grows up thinking that his family is normal. If they have the right values instilled in them, then they'll be able to see past what they don't have and appreciate what they do have. I guess I just made that up, to be honest. I feel very unqualified to say something like that. Homeless. You know, the money ain't stretching the way it is. I'm trying to take care of the kids. If I broke down what I was making and what you see in them bills, it never equaled up. It never did. Seeking the space and the peace, he didn't have a home. Josh found it on the field. I'd say football really saved my life, honestly. That's the way. That's the way. It tamed my life because it gave me a holiday. Jacobs would play at McLean High School in North Tulsa, a program that hadn't produced a Power 5 prospect in a decade and a half. As a running back, his talent was plain to see. Oh yeah, he's slicing everyone up. The whole package, great stats, excellent speed, really dumbfounding why he wasn't getting more recruiting attention. I was always under the radar. Fuck man, you can't tackle him. Despite averaging 15 yards a carry and running for 2700 yards and 31 touchdowns, Josh didn't have a single scholarship offer from any FBS school before December of his senior year. So that's high school. Then a turning point. Gerald Smith, a recruiting coordinator from Dallas, suggested Josh joined Twitter and posted season highlights and stats totals. There was nothing bad about his film. So I started it back over. I watched it again. I watched it again. I watched the whole thing. The next thing I did was I called my buddy and I said, hey, it's getting played anywhere. And he's like, what you got in mind? I said, bam. By signing day, Josh was no longer a secret and had received several Power Five offers. But his first choice, Alabama, had yet to commit to him. It is bam, I mean. So I watched him on film and I said, this guy is really pretty good. Who's this John Saban, Nick Saban? He's got some power for his size. And I said, you know, we need the guy. Let's take him. He basically told me like, hey Josh, we want you. Imagine that. It was just a dream come true. I came back and sat down and then I picked up the hat. That's what they do, isn't it? They've got like three or four different selections, possible selections of the school that they're planning on going to and then they sit down and they grab the hat that they want to commit to and they put it on. Now I don't know if everyone around them knows which one they're going to pick up before they do or it's a surprise, but it's pretty fucking cool regardless. Alabama. Boom! Josh ran like he had lived. How did I not hear about him last year? Go son! Oh, he can catch too. Leaves him for dust. Bam! Cross the 50. He played with a chip washer. My voice just broke, man. Like it's an advantage because I grind but it's the hustle. Yeah man, those leagues don't stop. Like a locomotive. I don't give a place in because I've never had it easy. Number eight, Josh Jacobs. After a standout junior season, Josh was held as the top running back entering this set FL draft. Junior? So it goes rookie sophomore junior senior. It's high street. Yup. Yes sir. Oh man, how proud would his dad be? And through memory, Josh Jacobs has more than yards to gain and more than tackles to break. Breaking the little cycle or the generational curse or whatever we call it. I feel like it just means change for my family. Hello? Hey Josh, this is John Gruden with the Oakland Raiders. How you doing? How you doing? I'm doing good coach. Sleeping in the car hall, you look back on it. It's always going to be something that motivated who I am. It might have been rough. See, number one. Oh here we go, Phillip Lindsay. I fucking love Phillip Lindsay, eh? I think we're going to have to watch that one. We're going to call that a day on Josh Jacobs although I could. Oh shit. Nah man, nah nah nah. Josh Jacobs is finding a new home in the NFL. We'll watch this. This was back in October. So this is another special on Josh Jacobs. Okay, let's do it. 24th pick Josh Jacobs. At running back. Nothing better than that. RB, fucking running back. So, kind of got my sneakers everywhere. Just threw them in the closet. Believe it or not, this is just like 230 more pairs. Bro, how'd you afford that? Part of a team and knowing that I'm going to be here and just finding the house and actually like falling in love with a place that you're going to stay. Go to's right now. I would definitely say these because nobody have them for real. Self lace. Just put your foot in and adjust to your foot. People don't know that you got to charge these too. It's like a little charging plate that you sit them on. What? Two sets of all the stuff that's on my bed. Comforter, all of that stuff. I would have grabbed Kobe Jersey and I'm playing on frame. So, I mean that's definitely dope. Now, it's just to get my favorite player. We should rest or rest, bro. So rest, I need ya. Here's Jacobs Middle. Plows to the end zone. Touchdown! Rader. Russell Westbrook's his favorite player. A lot of these guys go through adversity but I know your childhood story and I think America needs to know. Well, I come from a single parent home. I'm the middle of five. I've lived in cars. I've moved hotels. Never really had a stable home. Growing up without a bed. Growing up moving around a lot from cars, hotels and stuff like that. It just allowed me to appreciate the little things. Like sleeping on the bed, coming home to a house and calling it your own. So, I would definitely say it made me very appreciative. I want some painies over here. Presented by Sleep Partner. Did they sponsor this video? At the Michael Jordan poster where he has like his arms out. Thought about doing that right there. I don't know yet. Still have to get drapes. It's a work in progress right now. And I need a couple of TV stands. At the time I didn't... How exciting would that be, man? Setting up your first house. You've just been drafted. Well done, mate. It was like normal until I got older and now I see like what I went through is kind of like I wouldn't say extraordinary but it's kind of calming now and it's sad that it's that way. Especially in sports I've talked to a lot of people and they've just telling me their stories. It was definitely difficult and it was definitely something that I would never want to experience again. Looky here. This color on my own. What is that, a 350Z? It's a new home. A new 2020 vet coming soon. I'm gonna have the craziest color way for it. You'll have to wait to see that. It was a point of my life where I couldn't really like see that far ahead if that makes sense. I couldn't... a lot of goals that I would have had. What was his deal? His deal was worth. Doesn't say. He signed his four year rookie contract with the Raiders on July 9th, 2019. Okay, let's look at his stats. 13 games. 13 games started. 1,150 rushing yards. Hang on. Why was it saying he's played 13 but he's only got 12 in his career? Okay, that doesn't make sense whatsoever. What do we got here? Jacob, in week 13 against the Chiefs he rushed 17 times for 104 yards to nine loss. During the game, Jacobs became the first running back in Raiders history to rush for 1,000 yards in a rookie season. He has seven rushing touchdowns, zero receiving touchdowns. 1,061 rushing yards. 146 receiving yards. But it doesn't have how much... It actually doesn't have much about him at all. It doesn't even have a photo. That's surprising. The high school career which we heard about Tulsa, Oklahoma 5,372 yards over three seasons or is that two seasons in 56 touchdowns. Three years of college, all at Alabama. Total of 40 games 1,491 total rushing yards at an average of 5.9 which is pretty damn good, 16 touchdowns. 48 receptions for 571 yards at an average of 11.9 with five touchdowns. So we've got a total of 299 plays over 2,000 total yards 21 total touchdowns not bad. 510, 100 kilos and that's pretty much all we've got so far. The only reason I wanted to look that up is because he's buying cars and shit. You know what I mean? What I thought of was kind of like unattainable. And now I view it more as if just me trying to make the best out of every day and every opportunity, every moment. I feel like everything else will take care of itself after that. You hold the keys. Don't let anybody tell you what you can or can't do. Instincts, change of directions and those are things that are God given. Instincts, change of direction, the awareness they're God given. That's exactly right, Kerbster. Have lateral ability to tackle. You've got to have some toughness and all those things jumped off the tape. The more we watched Joss, the more we saw all those qualities show up weekend and week out. And got nothing on my boyfriend. I would say fun. The way that I scored it was dope with me leaving and things like that. I never really like jump a lot. So just for me to do that and then the picture that they had was really solid. Hey, look at that. I didn't know what celebration I wanted to do. It was just like, alright, I know I scored. I'm keeping the ball for sure. I don't know what I want to do. I just want to make sure I keep the ball. That was the biggest thing on my mind. First NFL touchdown. The game was really late too. So I didn't get home to probably like 12, 31. That's insane. That was, I slept probably to like 30 the next day. So I could definitely tell that I was exhausted. First thing you want to talk to me about is not trying to burn the camera. How would you feel? Come home. First game. First win. First touchdown. First game ball. Sleeping in my first house. Wow. Both ends. You gotta get your rest. You gotta properly take care of your body. Includes your training program and conditioning staff. Let's go to a treatment as well. And I've had them speak with former players at that position that have shared some of their health tips how they've taken care of their bodies. Just when you would be like waking up at 5.30, 5.45 brushing my teeth and things like that. Get a workout in early in the morning. So like 6.30. I'm not really a big breakfast guy. So I kind of like that breakfast. It's like a smoothie or something like that. And then straight to meetings. 10, 30, 11 practices start after meetings. We'll be out there for an hour, hour and a half. Right after the practice I tend to do like some stretching and catch some balls. Probably eating lunch around one. And then right back into meetings again. Probably leave the facility around 3.30. Then I'll come home. Get home and I'll just study film and eat again. And then lay down. That's the typical day. I might beat my family in 2K or something like that. But that's probably it. The biggest time that your body recovers. It's just a mental reset. People don't understand how much mentally the athletes have to do on top of just physical stuff. And I think that's probably the biggest thing. Just being able to reset and feel rejuvenated for the next day. Just wanted to come out and wake up and start the day off the right way. That's probably the biggest thing that sleep does for me. My sleep number setting is the 35 to 45 range. It's not too soft where I sink in but it's soft enough. We're talking about a video sponsor. Sleep and Morris. It's kind of like a good and a bad thing. But I'm kind of getting used to it. Sleep IQ. But it's definitely different. Some days it makes me sit back and think like, dang, I'm here. And it's definitely something I will never take for granted again. What kind of stuff do you have on the iPad that you like? I know you can't show us. Really mostly just game footage. I like to do at least 30 minutes. I might look at practice. I might look at the opponents. Or I might just stay like that happened against our opponents. Or blitz pickups and things like that. Believe it or not, I haven't watched neither game. And it's crazy because in college I was the same way. And it's like every time I watched a TV copy and I actually hear what they're saying I'm like, oh, this was dope. That's just man on man. That's just who wants it more. So my tattoo... To hear the commentator. I have a lot more coming. So I just feel like I'm the king in a way that I view myself in the way I carry myself and things like that. And then the roles for me is more symbolizes the softer side. It's not so much physical and so much a guy. How people prefer to be. Yeah, the macho type of thing. It just shows that I'm comfortable with being who I am. He's kind of withdrawn naturally. He's not a real outgoing person if he doesn't know you and if he doesn't have a relationship with you. Nice job, Josh. Shot to it. When I was coming to the team, I was like... Okay, let me see how can I not be on this. Going through the whole like stage before the draft like interviews, cameras falling you like all that kind of stuff. What's this? Hard knocks. What did he say? Okay, let me see how when I found out the hard knocks was coming to the team, I was like okay, let me see how can I not be on this. Going through the whole like stage before the draft like interviews, cameras falling you like all that kind of stuff. It was like it kind of prepared me for hard knocks but at that point I was kind of like over I just wanted to get back to playing football and trying to be the best version of myself. Everybody was literally asking like... First season coming to the team and you've got hard knocks there. I mean yeah, that's just a whole added amount of pressure that you really don't need in your first year. Where's he at? He's hurt. Like what's going on? I was just like they don't know that I asked not to be on it. I just want to come in and focus on football. It's the most important thing when you're rookie. It's the hardest you've ever done in your life. And that's a training camp in the national football league. That's big time work every time. That's the expectation level every time just like that. His goal was to not miss anything. Be there follow the rules, follow directions and get your work in it because if he got his work in, he knew with his ability that he was going to do something special and he's doing that right now. Oh, good speed! That's their best play of the second half. Right, these fans are definitely crazy. They love the team supporting, they can so you can't do nothing. We really just love them in the city of Oakland. Our games are numbered here. It's definitely something that we want to leave a mark on the city. In fact, they've just played their final game at Oakland. So that's definitely huge that we do that for the fans. He's taught and shared with me several times how much this means to him and it's important. And some guys will say that but then do something different and he's been spot on. 100% it's a tribute to him and his character. It's been impressive this early in the season to watch him work every day, to watch him have great attention to details on the field, off the field classroom, weight room. That's respect of the game. That's respect with his teammates and his peers and just trying to show them that he wants to fit in and be a part of this team. It's a lot more brotherhood oriented than I thought it would be. I thought it would be a lot of players individually just want to do their own thing but a lot of people actually care for each other and we all got a common goal just to try to be the best team that we could be and take it week by week. He can go as far as he wants to accept him and I've told him that if you want to be great I need one thing from you time he's got to put time in and if he does that sky's the limit he can get as good as he wants to be. Yeah, don't go looking for other teams. Presented by sleep number official sleep provider of the NFL. If you like that video please hit the subscribe button. I am subscribed. That was really good.
