It’s the season of giving, so why not treat your teammates to a little gift, right? That’s exactly what Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs did, buying his entire offensive line custom-made pendants with their numbers.
Yes, most important is the production and load he takes off Love — Jacobs ranks No. 5 in the NFL in total yards (1,556). But don’t underestimate the tone he sets early in games with his physical running style, and the effect it’s had on his teammates.
After enduring the worst season of his career last year in Las Vegas, Jacobs has bounced back in a big way with the Green Bay Packers. Jacobs has recaptured the form he showed in 2022, when he led the NFL in rushing and earned All-Pro honors with the Raiders.
