Josh Jacobs in 2019: “People say I run angry.
I don’t know. I guess I do. But I honestly don’t think it’s about how I run. It’s about why I do it, and who I do it for.
I run for my pops, the man who sacrificed so much and worked so hard to provide for me and educate me. I run for my three-year-old son, Braxton, so he can have a father he’s proud of, like I’m proud of mine. I run for my sister and my three brothers. I run for my teammates and my coaches. I run for everybody who has ever supported me, anyone who’s ever doubted me, and for anyone out there living on white rice and ramen noodles. I run for anyone who’s in a tough situation and feels like it’s never going to end — that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.
I run to show them that there is.
Then, when I’m totally spent — when I’m on my last leg and I have absolutely nothing left to give … I dig even deeper.
And I run for me.
Because I love it.
Because it’s what I do.”
