O’SHEA JACKSON did not follow his father’s footsteps into Raiders fandom, but they both feel the same way about Shedsur Sanders’ NFL draft of slide.
Jackson’s father, legendary rapper Ice Cube, grew up a Die-Hard Raiders fan when they played in Los Angeles. As a native to Compton, Jackson, who played his father in “Straight Outta Compton,” he said is a Los Angeles Rams fan and played only one Raiders fan for the movie.
In any case, Ice Cube’s Raiders were in the first -class position to take Sanders with the sixth overall choice in the NFL draft considering the uncertainty of Derek Carr, which has since retired due to injuries.

However, Las Vegas went on to him – just like every other team all the way all the way until Cleveland Browns took him in the fifth round.
“I personally felt a way of it … We will see that sheds watch succeeded,” Jackson told Pakinomist Digital at the Fanatics party in New York this past weekend. “It usually doesn’t happen with Cleveland Browns, but the shedur will break the shape.”
Despite Sanders sliding, ice cube may just float on Sky 9.
“My dad has always been a sucker to run back,” Jackson said. Raiders took Ashton Jeanty with the sixth election.

Whoever runs back, however, has not always worked well for Ice Cube.
“I will never forget that we saw the draft back on the day, and he said,” Son, if Raiders gets Darren McFadden, there is a god, “Jackson said.” They got Darren McFadden. There is a god! But he didn’t do anything. ”
McFadden was the fourth overall election for Raiders in 2008, but managed only a 1,000-yard-rushing season with them in seven campaigns. In 103 career games, he rushed into 5,421 yards and 28 touchdowns.
However, Jeanty comes out of one of the best seasons for a college that runs back at all times, and falls just below Barry Sanders’ all-time single-season record.

Jeanty was the highest chosen race back since Saquon Barkley was the second pick back in 2018.
