The running back, who signed a multi-year deal in free agency after starting his career with the Las Vegas Raiders, had 1,329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns as his team made the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jacobs attracted criticism from Packers fans after the season. The running back made a roster observation that was seen as criticism of his teammates. Green Bay lost to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/philadelphia-eagles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> during the Wild Card Round, but Jacobs asked for more offensive consistency.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during his appearance on Taylor Lewan&#8217;s podcast &#8220;Bussin&#8217; With The Boys&#8221;, the running back was asked about his expectations for the 2025 season. And he revealed that, with more experience, he&#8217;s confident about the upcoming year:<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat I think of the team when you have a lot of young guys.

To have them type of guys with another year&#8217;s worth of experience&#8230; I think we&#8217;re going to be straight, man. I tell people all the time, we played the Eagles better than any other team that I seen. That was just me watching football and scouting and things like that.

He has a total 13 years of experience working in American Football, and playing quarterback at an amateur level in Brazil has given him a unique perspective of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Henrique follows the Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick&#8217;s historic performance on MNF against the Washington Commanders in 2010. His all-time favorite player is Ed Reed; he believes that Reed is the greatest safety to ever play the game. Bill Belichick gets the nod as Henrique&#8217;s favorite coach for coaching the Patriots to glory over two decades.<\/p>\n<p>If Henrique were to be able to go back in time and watch one game, it would be Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots and the Seahawks played a complete, back-and-forth game that concluded with one of the biggest talking points in NFL history.<\/p>\n<p>Technical deep dives are Henrique\u2019s specialty, and he ensures never to use misleading words in his articles, since he himself consumes a lot of information off the web. He has had the privilege of interviewing Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt LaFleur, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from football, Henrique likes to play poker and Counter-Strike.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/henrique-bulio\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Henrique Bulio<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/news-months-calling-to-sign-wr1-josh-jacobs-makes-feelings-known-packers-potential-for-2025-nfl-season\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Josh Jacobs had a good first season with the Green Bay Packers.
