Who's here after he got that DUI

The idiot just got a DUI in Vegas. He’s successful and wealthy, but too stupid to call an UBER. Such a shame…

Never leave the Raiders Jacobs 🏴☠️
Man he lowered the boom on Oklahoma.
Im a huge fan boy of JJ. I love the way he runs the ball. It almost seems like he’s letting out his frustrations every time he runs over some poor defensive back
Youtube: taylor made holiday special (nfl players try comedy) very funny

Absolutely love J.J on the Raiders!!!
It’s hard to say but I’m his cousin my last name is Jacobs

Leads the league in rushing best rb in the nfl
Josh is a great player but man his father is amazing.
Can't even imagine what he went though.
Go RAIDERS
Josh Jacob's is now #1 in rushing yards in 2022-2023 season 👏
His pops the hero S/O that man
They never mention our Indigenous greatness bcs they don't want us to be inspired and empowered BUT WE HAVE A GREAT HISTORY WHICH HOMELESSNESS DIDN'T EXIST IN… WE'RE GODS AND GODDESSES and always have been before any foreigner came here.
I can’t believe this man has actually a Filipino blood. It is the reason why sometimes he have a Philippine flag on his helmet during games and I’m very honored to be a Filipino Raider fan!!!! GO RAIDERS!!!!!!☠️☠️☠️🖤🤍🖤🤍🇵🇭🇵🇭
Congrats Jacob never give up!
Real talk Mark Davis your father would have kick your azz for not sign this young man
That’s a Filipino father for you. He is going to step up
How does the NFL justify robbing from this man???? Fining him for hits that are just every day Football?!?!? Come on NFL WAKE UP!
