2022 rushing leader now in his second season as the lead back in Green Bay.
Josh Jacobs signed with the Packers in 2024 after six seasons in Las Vegas. His first year in Green Bay produced 1,329 rushing yards and 15 TDs as the Packers reached the playoffs. The 2025 follow-up was more grind: 1,067 yards on a Packers offense that asked him to convert short-yardage and red-zone work more than chunk plays.
Path to the league
Alabama RB drafted 24th overall by the Raiders in 2019. Won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and made the Pro Bowl in his first year. Led the NFL in rushing in 2022 with 1,653 yards before Las Vegas franchise-tagged him and the two sides eventually parted in 2024.
Career highlights
2022 NFL rushing yards leader (1,653). 2022 first-team All-Pro. 2019 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. 3x Pro Bowler. 8,000-plus career rushing yards across seven seasons.
2025 season recap
1,067 rushing yards on 263 carries (4.1 ypc), 11 rushing TDs. Added 36 catches for 270 yards. Green Bay went 11-6 and lost the Wild Card to the Eagles. Jacobs's per-carry numbers dropped because the Packers used him heavily inside, but the volume kept him as a high-touch RB1.
