And he barely played at UA compared to all the other studs.

First back with 100+ yards from scrimmage and 2 rush TDs in his NFL debut since Ladanian Tomlimson.

Downvote if you DO NOT think he will be.

Don't try to distract us from the fact that Texas gave us the Heat Treatment...

Idk Henry and Ingram are pretty damn good. Drake is too when they give him the football.

But Jacobs is a stud also

While he might very well end up being the best Alabama RB in the NFL, I should point out that both Alabama RBs mentioned earlier (Ingram and Henry) also had great games.

Ingram got over 100 yards, averaged over 7 yards per carry, and got 2 TDs
Henry had over 150 APY, and 2 TDs.

Shawn Alexander could be a border line hall of famer one day.

The reason Josh will be so good is precisely this

He has very little wear and tear on him. Still has plenty of tread left.

Very happy for him. He has a great back story coming from Oklahoma. Good luck to him in the NFL. He's obviously not in it just for the paycheck. Seems like a great kid.

Josh Jacobs is proof that the American Dream is still alive and well. Dude grew up with nothing in Oklahoma, worked his butt off, and is now a multi-millionaire playing in the NFL.

and he never started a game at Alabama. Never got the majority of carries in any game. Makes Saban look like an idiot tbh.

People don’t want to admit it, but Saban sucks at fielding his best players.

Gruden will run him into the ground just like he did to ‘lac, so he better be glad he barely got any carries at Bama.

3 former players did extremely well:

Henry - 159 total yards - 2 TDs

Jacobs - 113 total yards - 2 TDs

Ingram - 107 rushing yards - 2 TDs

2 did not:

I think Drake and Yeldon may need to find new homes. Drake (who is explosive) rarely touched the ball for Miami and Yeldon barely got on the field and had zero touches.


I think Josh has the potential to be a Kamara-type player because of his route running and receiving abilities, though he can lower the shoulder and run over people too.

That's a plain lie.

He was injured a good part of 2017. In 2018, he and both D and N Harris had a similar number of carries (D Harris 150, Jacobs 120, and N Harris 117). Jacobs had the lowest YPC of the three - half a yard less than D Harris and well over a yard less than N Harris.

The revisionist history is simply amazing.

Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram(both Heisman winners) aint too shabby either.

Must be tough putting out busts at RB like LSU does.
