It's high praise for the AFC West quarterback.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs says former AFC West rival Justin Herbert's ability is "crazy".

Jacobs made his move to the Packers this offseason having spent the rest of his career to date with the Las Vegas Raiders.

With the Raiders, Jacobs would face Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers twice every season.

And speaking on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast, Jacobs said Herbert could be in for a "special" season under new head coach Jim Harbaugh.

"I tell people all the time about him," said Jacobs.

"His ability is so crazy, he's huge, and he's one of those guys if they get him a line to really block for him he's going to be special.

"He's the first dude I've seen besides Patrick Mahomes who can roll out to the right, flick his wrist and make a 70-yard throw.

"One time Maxx [Crosby] hit him and he was still standing up and getting the ball of, I was like 'How?'"
