  1. Man o man. If ANYone Evvvvvvaaa say it ain't so..I'm gonna punch them in theeee face. God be the Glory, I have tears in my eyes from the very beginning. We as people truly take things for granted oh so often. As the commentator said, from sleeping in a car to a hella nice house and he still has his father to support him. God is real. His excellence is not by accident. I'd love to meet the brother. We all have a unique story, one step @ a time can and will take anyone to the top…much respect and honor to you my king.
    Yo to the Nupes!

  2. If he would've been getting what he deserved financially in college he could've been took care of his dad n family cause if he got hurt in college we wouldn't have heard of him

  3. 😢 Every time someone comes from a humble beginnings my heart always soft. I know he’s dad was a believer in him for a better life for them all and he delivered. Well I wish you the best young man, family is everything.

  4. McLain HS class of ‘10. Anytime I see a video of him, Shaun Jackson, Prentice Elliott, etc. I get excited because I know them personally and am a proud Alumni. Didn’t play football in college but got my Bachelor’s of Science degree in nutrition.

  5. heres something worth noting,,,, for a change a black FATHER was acknowledged for helping josh become the man he is,,, not a single mother this seldom happens,,,,and im not talking about just sports per se,,,,,,

  6. Great story. Ziegler could resend his franchise tag of 10 million? 3 time All Pro Dalvin Cook was cut from Viking at 11 million has set the running back market. Ziegler can always make a deal to sign Cook now he a free agent at 8 or 9 million a year. Good luck Jacobs on a better deal hope he doesn't mess up receiving 10 million from Ziegler on hope of a 3 year deal that may not come? Jacobs has not signed yet… Al Davis, did not like a player to out shine the Raiders, just ask Marcus Allen.

  7. Josh Jacobs was homeless what happen to him now. Made some millions with the Raiders and holding out. WHY? Is he getting a little greedy with the Raiders and pushing his weight around. Turns out he’s a great running back and now he’s holding out for more millions. Tag and would make over 10 million dollars this year and wants more. This is crazy” this what happens when you get greedy for more.

  8. Just like his paternal grandmother's compatriot, Manny Pacquiao, who was also homeless and slept on the sidewalk, because of tenacity, perseverance, the will to live, and hardwork, had made it big and successful in the world of sports. ❤❤❤
