Josh Jacobs Discusses Henry Ruggs' Tragic Crash, Ongoing Support

Former Raiders running back Josh Jacobs recently opened up about his close relationship with Henry Ruggs and the tragic car accident that resulted in Ruggs' imprisonment. Jacobs revealed on 'The Pivot' podcast that he nearly joined Ruggs on the night of the fatal crash but decided not to go out, later learning about the incident through his lawyers and social media. He expressed that Tina Tintor's death was avoidable and shared his ongoing support for Ruggs, describing him as a 'good kid' who made a devastating mistake. Jacobs also addressed the perception that Las Vegas is a dangerous city for athletes, arguing that individual decisions, not the city itself, are to blame. Despite Ruggs' incarceration, Jacobs remains in contact with him and his family and believes Ruggs could get another chance in football after his release. He emphasized the importance of not letting one decision define a person's entire life.
