After just one season, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has immersed himself into the organization and city.
Some might be wondering why he's been so outspoken this offseason, already, about key team needs. Specifically, Jacobs recently called out his wide receiver room in a roundabout way by noting the need for a legitimate no. 1 option.
But, this is all because he cares. Jacobs already has the makings of an all-time Packer. The man wants to win, and that's exactly what fans want as well. This doesn't make him a bad teammate or a bad guy, by any means. He's just telling it like it is.
On the same note of telling the whole truth, Jacobs recently spoke very highly of his first year in Green Bay during an interview with Sterling Holmes of Stacking the Box.
Jacobs and fellow running back AJ Dillon sat down with Holmes, on behalf of their partnership with Bounty, to talk all things Green Bay, Super Bowl and a few other topics during Radio Row.
Josh Jacobs loves being in Green Bay, but so does AJ Dillon
When asked about Green Bay, the fan base and overall experience playing for such a historical franchise, Jacobs spoke glowingly.
"We have a great fan base ... just to be in the atmosphere, you feel the energy. It's different, man," Jacobs said. "Especially when it gets colder and you see everybody dressed the same, and you see the field, might have snow or whatever. It's just a different vibe."
More Packers news:
Let's not forget Dillon, whose 2024 campaign ended before it began due to a neck injury suffered during a training camp practice back in August. He echoed Jacobs' sentiments about Lambeau Field and loves being there just as much as the next teammate.
"In the underground lot there, they have a saying up there, it's like 'today is somebody's bucket list.' It makes you appreciate it," Dillon said.
The Packers' running back room has been somewhat in flux the past year or so, with Aaron Jones leaving town and Jacobs coming in. But, one thing has remained, and that's Dillon. Hopefully, he and Jacobs are able to stick with the Packers for years to come.
After all, they love it here.
