    From a homeless kid to a multimillionaire professional football player... truly inspirational.
    If only there were more fathers in the world like his. He saw potential in his kids and knew that he had to keep fighting because there was a life for them beyond the streets. He struggled because he wanted to see his kids live out their dreams. The whole family deserves all of this.
    They fought on and kept their heads held up high, even when things seemed hopeless and bleak.

Ik it was from 2019 but for Packers fans like myself, it was phenomenal to learn what Josh is truly about and why he’s a big deal in the NFL being ranked in the top 5 best RBs! I’m so glad he is now a Packers player and I wanted them to take Jacobs because of hearing his story prior to the draft and the way he plays football, is absolutely what I love about him!

    I am so sorry about your mom’s blindness and injuries. I think it is is great that you honor her with your play. You are an awesome receiver. God bless you and your family.
