Raiders' Josh Jacobs Hosts Las Vegas Youth Camp

Amidst all the uncertainty of what All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs' relationship with the Las Vegas Raiders will look like this season, he is still giving back to the Las Vegas community.

According to FOX5 Vegas' Paloma Villicana, Jacobs flew to Las Vegas on Wednesday to host a free camp for 250 kids at Sierra Vista High School.

"I feel like that's the reason we have the platform and the resources that we do, is to be able to impact others and touch people's lives in any way possible," Jacobs told Villicana. "So even if it's just to be able to come here and talk to the kids and just tell them they did a good job or anything. I feel like it goes a long way."

Jacobs, who enters his fifth NFL season, knows all too well what's vital for his campers to understand while they're still young.

"I would just tell them, 'Learn the game,'" Jacobs said. "And these kids are at an age where the game is not really a business yet. It's really where it's the most pure, where it's the most fun, and just to enjoy it. Have fun and experience it and enjoy it."

I've known @iAM_JoshJacobs for years now following him from Alabama to Las Vegas. He's always been one of the most humble hard working guys I know.

The following is what Jacobs said he hopes his campers took away from the event:

"Honestly just be humble, work, and anything that you put your mind to, you can achieve. Even if it's not easy, even the goal feels out of reach, just continue to do what you do, be a positive light, and if not in your community, in your household. And, just be the best version of you."

Jacobs has been a Raider for his entire pro career.

In those four seasons, he's posted 4,740 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns, and 1,152 receiving yards.

Jacobs played every game for the first time in his career last season.
