The awards just keep piling in for the No. 24 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. This time, it was another Offensive Rookie of the Month honor for Josh Jacobs, who rushed for 441 yards and three touchdowns during the month of November.
Through 12 games, Jacobs has already surpassed 1,000 rushing yards, scoring seven touchdowns and adding another 146 yards through the air. Considering how much work he is getting, expect him to surpass 1,500 total yards and double-digit touchdowns by the time the season is over.
Jacobs is pretty clearly the front-runner to win the league’s Rookie of the Year award at the end of the season. He’s been arguably the league’s best running back despite playing with a fractured shoulder. Jacobs is the Raiders’ workhorse back and he is the heart and soul of the offense.
Don’t be surprised if he earns another award or two before the end of the season as the Raiders will likely lean on him over the next four weeks as they make a push for the playoffs.
