Best gets a shot at the team he hates
Posted by Mike Florio on October 15, 2011, 3:20 PM EDT
Lions' Best runs for an 88 yard touchdown against the Bears in the third quarter of their NFL football game in Detroit Reuters

Lions running back Jahvid Best grew up in Richmond, California. But he wasn’t a fan of the nearby 49ers. Best rooted for the Raiders. He didn’t like the Niners.

So he’s looking forward to Sunday’s visit from the local team he loathed.

“I grew up a Raider fan, so definitely my eyes are set on San Francisco this week because it’s a team I grew up hating,” Best said earlier this week, according to the Detroit Free Press. “So it’s definitely a little plus for me.”

Best is coming off a career performance against the Bears, with 163 yards rushing on Monday Night Football. Despite the fact that he has never liked the 49ers, it’ll be hard for him to match that effort, given the power of the San Fran defense.

Later this year, Best gets a chance to play his favorite team. On December 18, he gets to go home for a game against the Raiders.

Despite Best being a Raiders fan, I rooted for him at Cal, Cal has some of the best Running Backs coming out of there.. Best was a Beast, after Lynch left for the draft it was like Marshawn Lynch who?

Yea I used to go to game with dad startin in the kyle boller era, CAL has had a string of dope ass back for a minute now, never thought best would replace Lynch so easily, I think Lynch has to be my favorite college player of all time, he was like a west coast AP
