O’Shea Jackson did not follow in his father’s footsteps towards the Raiders Fandom, but both feel similarly on the NFL slide of Sheders.
Jackson’s father, the legendary rapper Ice Cube, grew a staunch fan of the Raiders when they played in Los Angeles. As a native of Compton, Jackson, who played his father in “Straight Outta Compton,” said he is a fan of the Los Angeles Rams and only played a Raiders fan for the film.
In any case, the ICE Cube Raiders were in a privileged position to take Sanders with the sixth general selection in the NFL draft, given the uncertainty of Derek Carr, who has since retired due to injuries.

However, Las Vegas transmitted it, like any other team until the Cleveland Browns took him in the fifth round.
“Personally I felt a way … We want to see Shedeur be successful,” Jackson told Fox Digital in Fanatics Fest in New York last weekend. “That usually does not happen with the Cleveland Browns, but Shedeur is going to break the mold.”
However, despite the slide Sanders, Ice Cube can be floating in cloud 9.
“My dad has always been a fan of runners,” Jackson said. The Raiders took Ashton Jeanty with the sixth selection.

However, that runner’s love has not always worked well for Ice Cube.
“I will never forget that we were seeing the draft together in the past, and he said: ‘Son, if the Raiders get Darren McFadden, there is a god’,” Jackson said. “They got Darren McFadden. There is a God! But he did nothing.”
McFadden was the fourth general selection for the Raiders in 2008, but achieved only a 1,000 -yard season with them in seven campaigns. In 103 race games, he ran for 5,421 yards and 28 touchdowns.
However, Jeacty comes from one of the best seasons for a university corridor of all time, being just below the record of a single season of Barry Sanders.

Jeanty was the best selected runner since Saquon Barkley was the second selection in 2018.
