Not every football player finds their way to the NFL the same way, and that’s certainly true for Jerry Jacobs as he enters his third year with the Detroit Lions.
From Hutchinson Community College in Kansas to Arkansas St. to a brief stint with the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2020 and playing on college football’s biggest stage in the SEC, Jacobs collegiate journey didn’t culminate with him hearing his name called during the 2021 NFL Draft.
“Man, that was one goal of mine, to get my name called [in the draft],” Jacobs said in an interview with Pride of Detroit.
