How does one rank a rookie running back among his new NFL peers? Maurice Jones-Drew sets about ranking each of the NFL’s number one back, and since the Raiders figure to deploy rookie Josh Jacobs as their RB1, he had to find a place in the rankings for him. Jacobs landed at number 21.
Jones-Drew had this to say about his ranking for Jacobs:
