Josh Jacobs was selected as the No. 24 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft despite never being the lead back for Alabama football.
Jacobs had to share the backfield throughout his three years in Tuscaloosa. He was never considered the No. 1 option out of the backfield and as a result, he never rushed for more than 640 yards in one season.
