The Most Important Packers: No. 7 — RB Josh Jacobs
The article analyzes the Green Bay Packers' disappointing 2025 season, where they went 9-8-1 and blew a 21-3 halftime lead in the Wild Card round against the Chicago Bears, losing 31-27. The team finished with five straight losses and enters 2026 with the league's fourth-longest losing streak. Running back Josh Jacobs is ranked as the 7th most important player for the upcoming season. Jacobs started 15 games in 2025, recording 929 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, tying for fourth in the NFL in rushing TDs. He has been a consistent performer since entering the league in 2019, ranking second in rushing yards (7,803) and rushing touchdowns (74) among active players. The article notes Jacobs is facing potential legal issues, which could impact the Packers' running game in 2026. The Packers were hit hard in free agency and lacked a first-round draft pick, making Jacobs' role critical.
