The Raiders drafted Jacobs in the first round Thursday night as the top RB in the NFL Draft at No. 24 overall, and he’s changing his number.
Jacobs wore No. 8 in Tuscaloosa, but he’ll be wearing No. 28 for the Raiders. He shared the news on Twitter Saturday:

Jacobs is one of five Alabama players who have been drafted through the first three rounds. Like Jacobs, DL Quinnen Williams and OL Jonah Williams were both first-round picks. TE Irv Smith was a second round pick, and fellow Tide RB Damien Harris was a third round pick.
Jacobs has all the tools necessary to be an every-down NFL back who can excel in Jon Gruden’s offense.
