Josh Jacobs was all-world in the month of October and has been rewarded as such.
On Thursday, the Raiders rookie running back was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month, following an October in which he rushed for 313 yards and two touchdowns.
Jacobs starred in the Raiders win over the Bears in Week 5 in London and gutted through a shoulder injury in losses to the Packers and Texans in Weeks 8 and 9.
He averaged 104.3 yards per game during the month of October and 5.05 per carry. The Alabama product led rookies in carried (62), yards (313). first downs (14) and tied for first with two rushing touchdowns.
Jacobs is the first Raiders rookie to win Rookie of the Month since Charles Woodson in 1998 and the first Raider ever to win Offensive Rookie of the Month.
