Josh Jacobs was a rotational back up plagued with injuries for his first two years at Alabama, used mainly as a third down back and as a pass catcher out of the backfield. He made some impressive plays, even as a freshman, making defenders miss in spectacular fashion nearly any time he had the ball with room to move.
