Report: Packers’ Jordan Sends Strong Message To Josh Jacobs
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is loving what he sees from his new tailback. Love is hyping up one of his new teammates, running back Josh Jacobs, ahead of the team’s preseason games.
“The way he’s able to get to the holes, find those holes, his cutting ability in and out of those holes, it’s crazy,” Love said, per The Athletic. “It’s fun to watch.”
Packers fans have to love that review. Jacobs had missed practices during training camp due to a groin injury. He returned to the field on Tuesday.
Love and Jacobs are tasked with leading the Green Bay offense to victory this season. The Packers made a late surge in 2023, entering the NFL playoffs off of some great play in the last month of the season. Green Bay defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC playoffs before losing to San Francisco in a close game during the Divisional Round. Packers fans hope for even more success during the upcoming campaign.

Packers need a big year from Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs has had some excellent years in the NFL. The Packers need him to continue that solid production. In his NFL career, the rusher has had three 1,000-yard rushing seasons. In 2023, he didn’t accomplish that feat, finishing the last campaign with 805 yards and six touchdowns.

Jacobs came over to Wisconsin this offseason from the Las Vegas Raiders. Green Bay is paying him to pick up big yardage, supporting Love and the offense. It seems with these comments that Love has a lot of faith in his new tailback.
