From sleeping in a car to NFL stardom: Josh Jacobs' powerful story will break your heart and inspire you
Before he was stiff-arming defenders and breaking records, Josh Jacobs was just a kid living out of a car in Tulsa, Oklahoma. No spotlight. No cleats. Just a backseat, a protective dad, and a dream that didn't seem real yet here he is. The Packers running back opened up again about his upbringing, and it's the kind of story that hits different when you realize how far he's come. It's not just inspiring, it's gut-wrenching, raw, and real. Josh Jacobs and his family lived in motels and cars but he never let it break him — _MLFootball (@_MLFootball) Josh was in middle school when his family's living situation collapsed. With his dad and siblings, he bounced between motels and nights parked in a Chevy Suburban, where his father would stay up to protect them. 'I normalized a lot of things growing up,' Jacobs said. 'Like I never thought, damn, I'm sleeping in a car.' He didn't complain. He didn't crack. He just played football, got better, and stayed ready. When Jacobs was drafted in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Raiders, his first big move wasn't flashy jewelry or a luxury car. It was buying his dad a house. That full-circle moment made headlines everywhere. And if you've ever seen the footage, his dad breaking down in tears, it'll stay with you. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like (46만원 지원할인) 모발이식 500모 49.5만원 지원할인 모발이식 더 알아보기 Undo 'That's what made it real for me,' Jacobs said. 'Knowing I could take care of the man who never stopped taking care of me.' From Super Bowl ads to real-life change, Josh is using his platform to speak for others Jacobs didn't just stop at personal wins, he told his story on a Kia Super Bowl ad, highlighting youth homelessness and partnering with programs to raise awareness. Every yard he gained during Super Bowl LIV meant real money donated to kids going through what he once lived. It's the kind of advocacy that makes you see athletes as more than just players. This isn't just a rags-to-riches tale, it's about perseverance, perspective, and the power of staying grounded. Josh Jacobs could've folded under pressure. Instead, he turned his past into purpose. And now? He's not just running toward touchdowns, he's running for every kid still trying to make it out of that backseat.
