Green Bay Packers Running Back Josh Jacobs Aiming to Break NFL Record Without Touchdown Receptions

The Green Bay Packers made a splash in the offseason by signing star running back Josh Jacobs to a four-year, $48 million contract. This move comes on the heels of the team parting ways with franchise rushing great Aaron Jones. With Jacobs now leading the pack, the Packers are gearing up for an exciting 2024 NFL season.

One intriguing fact about Jacobs is that despite his impressive rushing numbers, he has never caught an NFL touchdown pass. In his five-year career, Jacobs has racked up over 5,500 rushing yards and 46 touchdowns. He has also been a reliable receiver, with 197 receptions for 1,448 yards, but the end zone has eluded him in the passing game.

With the help of quarterback Jordan Love, Jacobs is determined to change that statistic. Love, who had a standout first season as a starting quarterback for the Packers, is committed to getting Jacobs his first NFL receiving touchdown. The young quarterback expressed confidence in their connection and is eager to make it happen on the field.

With the Packers’ offensive scheme known for utilizing running backs in the passing game, Jacobs has a great opportunity to showcase his receiving skills and finally get that elusive touchdown. Packers fans can look forward to seeing Jacobs and Love working together to make history and propel the team to success in the upcoming season.
