The Raiders’ pick of Jacobs is turning out to be gold. Oakland drafted Jacobs with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The great thing about Jacobs is that he has low mileage from his college career at Alabama. He only recorded 251 carries in three years in Tuscaloosa.
This year alone Jacobs has already recorded 88 carries for the Raiders.
