Green Bay Packers exited the 2024-25 postseason in the Wild Card round in the hands of eventual champions Philadelphia Eagles. For running back Josh Jacobs that could have gone a different way if only they were healthy.

Jacobs sat down with Packers Talk to talk about his goal for 2025, his seventh season in the league and second for Green Bay. He said he is extra motivated seeing Eagles win everything after meeting them in the first round.
“Just to see the Eagles go win a Super Bowl and, in my opinion, we played them the best out of any team last year and we was banged up a lot at the end,” he said.
The three-time Pro Bowl claimed they are capable of competing and there’s one important thing they need to figure out first.
“For me, seeing how close we are is just about figuring out what we need to do to take that next step to get over the hump,” he shared.

“Like I said, it all comes down to putting in the work, putting in the time.”
Green Bay Packers has an ace in Josh Jacobs
Much of the talk about the new-look Pacers center around Jordan Love and their wide receiver corps but opponents must not forget about Jacobs who is listed no. 6 by ESPN in its latest ranking of the best quarterbacks in the league.
The survey included opinions of executives and coaches.

“Elite balance, strength, vision, feet and determination with the ball in his hands,” a high-ranking NFC personnel executive said.
“He catches it well. True difference-maker. And he plays every week. Availability. I tend to lean toward well-rounded backs that are elite runners and huge threats in the passing game, and Jacobs fits that bill.”
Right now, pundits are not that generous about the Packers. Jacobs and company still has a lot to prove.
