There’s no question that Josh Jacobs was a difference-maker for the Green Bay Packers last season. The newly-arrived running back had a Pro Bowl season, posting 1,329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground while adding another 342 receiving yards and one more score.
Jacobs’ rushing total was good for fifth-most in a single season in Packers franchise history. However, the Packers often leaned on the run to the extreme throughout 2024 and his yards per carry average of 4.4 was rather lackluster. Indeed, that mark matched the league average last season and ranked him 18th running backs with at least 120 carries.
