ESPN surveyed league executives, coaches and scouts to rank the top 10 players at every position. New Packers RB Josh Jacobs is No. 7 among running backs.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – For Part 1 of a daily series, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler asked coaches, scouts and executives to rank the“Just a good all-around back,” a coach on offense told Fowler. “Can run inside or outside zone. Breaks a lot of tackles at the point of contact. Rarely tackled by one guy. Not the fastest or biggest or strongest but just knows how to run the football and very productive. And he's very durable. Can get you a lot of carries and really punish you in the fourth quarter.
Of course, nobody involved wants this to be a one-year deal. Jacobs led the NFL with 1,653 rushing yards and 2,053 total yards in 2022. While he probably won’t hit those lofty marks in a Jordan Love-centric offense, the Packers would love it if Jacobs can run with the same sort of efficiency.
