Is Josh Jacobs the NFL’s Next Breakout Star? Secrets Behind His Potential Big Season Revealed!

If you think the Green Bay Packers’ offense is all about Jordan Love’s arm these days, you might be missing the real secret weapon lurking in the backfield. Josh Jacobs isn’t just running the ball — he’s barreling toward what could be a breakout season that might just redefine the Packers’ whole offensive identity. But here’s the kicker: can a team really soar if it doesn’t feed its ground game enough? I mean, the projections have Jacobs charging toward over 1,100 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground alone—numbers that’d make any defense shudder. Of course, we’re still early in the season, and those stats gotta be taken with a healthy pinch of skepticism given the rocky start behind a beat-up offensive line. Still, if Jacobs’ wheels find traction—and the Packers get him the rock more often—this could be the element that takes Love’s play from good to downright unstoppable. So, the real question is: will Green Bay finally embrace the run enough to let their QB and star back truly shine? Let’s dive in and unravel what this could mean for the Packers’ 2025 campaign.

The Green Bay Packers need to establish the run.

Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career, but the running game will always be a quarterback’s best friend.

Also, with the projections for Josh Jacobs, the team will be wise to feed him early and often.

As pointed out by fan account PCK3RS on X, the former Las Vegas Raiders running back is currently on pace to log 340 carries for a whopping 1,131 rushing yards and 17 rushing touchdowns.

That’s without even counting his stats as a pass-catcher, as he’s also a big factor as an escape valve in obvious passing situations.

Of course, we have to take these numbers with a grain of salt as well.

Projections are only that: Projections, and the sample size isn’t big enough, so there are a few outliers there.

Jacobs hadn’t logged big numbers in the first three weeks of the season.

It wasn’t on him, as he was playing behind a banged-up offensive line and, at times, against absolutely elite defenses.

Also, the bulk of his scoring production came in Week 4 in the tie to the Dallas Cowboys, a team with one of the absolute worst run defenses in the game.

Then again, it’s also worth noting that Jacobs should do better as the season goes by, especially if the offensive line is healthy.

And regardless of his actual end-of-season numbers, the team has to get him more involved in the offense to put Jordan Love in a position to succeed.
