Joshua Jacobs only stands at five foot ten and 220 pounds and that might lead some to underestimate the second-year Las Vegas Raider. He's been pegged as a bit of an underdog in a league of giants. With that being said, fans love his speed, agility, and ability to punch through for extra yardage.

Despite the praise that has been heaped upon Jacobs over the last few years, he still hasn’t had quite the season that the Las Vegas Raiders were looking for. One example of this is 20221, where Jacobs played 17 games and recorded 872 yards, nine touchdowns, and an average of four yards a carry in 212 attempts. Hopefully, those numbers will improve in 2022 and Jacobs can become a successful fan favorite.
