Raiders Running Back Josh Jacobs Arrested on DUI Charge

The Las Vegas Raiders have one of the NFL’s more reliable running backs in Josh Jacobs. The second year back rushed for 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns, though he gained just 3.9 yards per rushing attempt. Unfortunately, he was also quick to get in some trouble as soon as the NFL season ended. Jacobs was arrested on a DUI charge early Monday morning, hours after the Raiders returned from a season-finale victory at the Denver Broncos.

If you're like any of these idiots I see excusing his behavior, you should go ahead and fuck yourself.

Drunk. Driving. Is. Not. Okay.

I don't care that he didn't kill someone. He COULD have and it would have been completely avoidable. Period. https://t.co/qR0ybpBvNw

Sad but let's just be happy he didn't hurt anyone, including himself. Learn from it. https://t.co/fDtbD98t0N

Josh Jacobs became just the 33rd player in NFL history to record 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons. He appears to be the Las Vegas Raiders’ guy moving forward. Hopefully he will learn a quick lesson from this incident and get back on track.
