Saquon Barkley grabbed the hardware, and Derrick Henry many of the headlines, but Packers running back Josh Jacobs also had one of the most dominant seasons at the position last season, and could be primed for an even more explosive 2025.<\/p>\n

Rushing for a career-high 15 touchdowns while posting 1,329 yards, his most prolific output since winning the rushing crown back in 2022, Jacobs became a focal point of the Packers\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, Jacobs is widely regarded as one of the most punishing running backs in the sport.<\/p>\n

ESPN lists Jacobs as the No. 67 overall player entering the season, while pointing out a state that puts the 27-year-old back in some elite company, pointing out that Henry ranks third in yards from scrimmage per game over the past three seasons, at 102.7. Jacobs only trails Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry in the key metric, that shows his versatility and explosiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cJacobs played in every game last season and was one of only six backs with more than 300 carries,\u201d\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Rob Demovsky points out. \u201cFinishing with 1,329 yards. That was in his first season in Green Bay, and he had to learn the offense. \u201cThe biggest thing that\u2019s different between this year and last year is I don\u2019t really have to go out there and think,\u201d Jacobs said. \u2018I know most of the things that we\u2019re doing.’\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
