Raiders' Josh Jacobs buys his father new house after rookie season

Josh Jacobs had a 2019 to remember. The Alabama product was selected by the Raiders in the first round of the NFL draft and proved to be an immediate star.

Jacobs rushed for 1,150 yards in just 13 games and smashed the Raiders' rookie rushing yards record, which was previously held by Hall of Famer Marcus Allen. He missed three games to injury, but still has a case to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

While he wishes his team was in the playoffs, Jacobs' 2020 is off to an even more meaningful start. The 21-year-old announced on Tuesday that he bought his father, Marty, a new home.
