Silver Minings: Marcus Allen is mentoring Josh Jacobs

It was somewhat lost in the hoopla of the Raiders’ stunning 40-32 win at the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday — their first win at Arrowhead Stadium in eight years — but young standout Las Vegas running back Josh Jacobs told reporters that he talks to former Raiders’ great running back Marcus Allen weekly and considers him a mentor.

On Wednesday. Raiders’ running back coach Kirby Wilson doubled down and told reporters that Allen, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, helps Jacobs with reading defenses and he is a regular confidant of Jacobs.
