The Green Bay Packers' veteran leadership lacks the tenure to drive home the veteran aspect of the term, but the leadership holds firm nonetheless. There may not be a better example on the roster than Josh Jacobs after his efforts in the team's 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.
Jacobs dealt with an illness and a calf issue coming into the contest, so the doubts of him even suiting up for Green Bay were substantial. Apparently, the team wanted to take the cautious route with Jacobs, as the star running back had to persuade the higher-ups to let him play.
