Former Detroit Lions starting cornerback Jerry Jacobs has found a new NFL home. Jacobs is signing with the Los Angeles Rams after also taking visits with the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers recently.
Jacobs was one of Detroit’s best undrafted free agent stories of the last few seasons. After going undrafted out of Arkansas in 2021, the feisty cornerback earned not only a roster spot but a starting role as a rookie.
