Josh Jacobs details biggest difference between Raiders and Packers

Former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Josh Jacobs is set to start a new chapter in his professional career in the upcoming 2024 NFL season. After spending five season with the Las Vegas Raiders franchise, Jacobs signed with the Green Bay Packers over the offseason.

The 2019 first-round selection has been a star in the league with his old team, but has publicly stated that he looks forward to his time with the Packers and has already noticed a few stark differences. He mentioned a few of them on a recent interview on the NFL Network.

“I would say one of the main reasons was just the certainty of what I’m going to get,” Jacobs said. “There’s already a lot of structure. There’s already a lot of stuff in place. Having another new head coach over there [in Las Vegas], my fourth head coach while I was there, I never felt like there was any stability.”

Along with his issues with the lack of consistency in Las Vegas, Jacobs mentions the importance of playing on a winning franchise, especially as he looks to secure his legacy in the NFL.

“I can honestly say that as I’m getting older and I’m playing longer, I have a real goal of legacy,” Jacobs said. “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.”
