New NFC North running back predicts 'special year' for himselfGetty
The 2022 rushing yards leader has a new home.

The Green Bay Packers have a new running back going into 2024, and his name is Josh Jacobs.

The 26-year-old is a familiar name in the NFL, having topped the league in rushing yards just seasons ago with 1,653.

Before 2024, Jacobs spent his entire NFL career with the Raiders, but he is now aiming to create a legacy with the Packers.

Speaking to Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero on The Insiders, Jacobs predicted big things in his near future.

"I honestly think the sky is the limit in this offense," said Jacobs.

"Just to be able to see the game plan and things that they want me to do this year, the things that they're allowing me to do, I just think it's going to be a special year.

"I can honestly say that as I'm getting older and I'm playing longer, I have a real goal of legacy.

"I think that's a big thing – wanting to play in important games, play in the playoffs, make a deep run and, you know, play in that game if we get there.

"That's big for me. I think that's the most important thing."

Jacobs will be competing for snaps with veteran AJ Dillon and rookie MarShawn Lloyd.
