Josh Jacobs continues his first-year breakout as Pro Football Focus graded him as the best running back in the NFL through Week 9 of the regular season.

The Alabama product has been making waves throughout the league, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed.

As the No. 24 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and the first running back selected in the draft, Jacobs had a chip on his shoulder, and he has definitely been living up to the hype.

In the Raiders Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Jacobs lead the team to a win the only way he knows how, by being the strongest guy on the field.

Alabama fans have known for sometime now that he is capable of being the stronger, faster and smarter player, regardless of the matchup.

It has got to be a comforting feeling knowing that they were ahead of the wave, now that the country knows his name and what he has in-store.

There’s plenty of time left in the regular season for things to change, but it looks as if Jacobs could be the front runner to win NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year.
