Experiencing that, growing up having to really be humble, having to sacrifice and look at things from a different point of view. Not feeling like I ever fit in, I always feel like I had a lot of time to look inward.” Josh Jacobs. In life, we often see the end result of success but never understand the story of what one endures to achieve it. Perseverance often makes the difference between success and failure, and this conversation is about a young man overcoming obstacles to find himself on an unlikely path that reveals his greatest gifts. While in Green Bay for the 2025 NFL Draft, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit with Packers' star Running Back, Josh Jacobs for an unfiltered and deep conversation about his journey from sleeping in cars to a feeling of never fitting in to becoming a first-round draft pick and a Pro Bowl player. Jacobs opens up about his challenging upbringing, how football became his escape, the mental battles and emotional turmoil he faced even after making it to the league. Forging a life-long close bond with his father who raised him and his siblings, Josh talks about the unconditional love and gratitude he has for his family and finding the ability to forgive his mother after opening up on the burdens of their relationship. As an underrated high school player, Josh's football talents took him to Alabama where Josh was one of the best backs in college despite being third on the depth chart, having to prove himself day in and day out. He shares his pivotal point in ball and how Nick Saban played an intricate role his football career pushing to the next level and how he learned growth and discipline through football. He shares the truth about contract negotiations, his thoughts on the running back position being devalued, his mindset after leaving the Raiders, and how he stays grounded in a world that constantly tests him. Josh reveals the pain he feels for his former teammate and close friend Henry Ruggs and how he hopes young people learn how one moment and one choice can alter life's direction. And of course the guys ask him about the talented roster in Green Bay as Josh raves about his quarterback Jordan Love, his head coach's leadership and what the team is working towards for the 2025 season. This is more than a sports story and far beyond football—it’s about resilience, growth, and finding purpose beyond the game.
