Josh Jacobs has provided a big boost to the Packers' running game in his first season in Green Bay. Meanwhile, his former team, the Raiders, has the least productive running game in the NFL in 2024.
While Las Vegas has gone from No. 30 to No. 32 in rushing offense, Jacobs' new team has gone from No. 14 to No. 5. Some thought that Jacobs, the league's rushing and scrimmage yards champ in 2022, had faded after a career year. But the Packers' faith in him — signing Jacobs to a four-year, $48 million contract in free agency — has been well rewarded by a feature back still in his prime.
