Oakland Raiders first-round pick Josh Jacobs hasn't yet stepped onto an NFL field for a game, but movie makers are already interested in his story. Jacobs had a rough childhood and sometimes had to sleep in his father's car, but that didn't stop him from living out his dream and making it to the NFL.

Jacobs said that he has talked to by movie producers about making a movie about his life, but it's still something that he is thinking about. Jacobs said the movie would probably share some things he hasn't brought to light yet and he isn't sure this is the right time to do that.

“Because it’s taking the story into a deeper level,” Jacobs said, via NBCSportsBayArea.com. “It’s saying some things that I left out in the story that would probably be shown in the movie and I don’t know if I want to do it. I still have to talk to my family about it and see how they feel about it and things like that. But I haven’t really thought about it too much.”

Earlier this offseason Jacobs wrote a story for the Players' Tribune about how scared he was as a child when gunshots would ring out where he was living.

“I’m never going to forget the nights spent in the back of that Suburban,” Jacobs wrote. “I’ll never forget the motels. The gunshots. The helicopters. I know what it’s like to be scared. To be hungry. To have nothing in my future but uncertainty.”

It's a feel-good story seeing Jacobs rise past his childhood and become a first-round pick, and there is no doubt it would make a great movie.
