The Green Bay Packers are going into the 2024 NFL season with a new-look offense. While many key pieces are returning, the running back room will look very different. Josh Jacobs was signed when contract negotiations fell apart with Aaron Jones.
While the move was surprising, both sides seem extremely excited to start working together. That includes defensive personnel.
New Green Bay Packers Running Back Josh Jacobs Makes Hysterical Remark On Social Media
According to Adam Patrick of The Cold Wire:
Recently, one of his new Green Bay teammates, cornerback Keisean Nixon, jokingly posted on Twitter how he’s going to start a fight with Jacobs during Packers training camp this summer.
Jacobs then made sure to inform Nixon that starting a fight with him probably wouldn’t be a great idea (via Josh Jacobs on Twitter).
Jacobs (223 pounds) currently outweighs Nixon (200 pounds) by more than 20 pounds, so that’s a fight that the Green Bay cornerback likely wouldn’t come out of as a winner.
One thing Jacobs and Nixon will both be helping the Packers fight for in 2024 will be the NFC North.
The Detroit Lions were able to win the NFC North division last season, and they did it in convincing fashion with a 12-5 record.
However, Green Bay surprised a bunch of people in 2023 when they managed to make to the divisional round of the playoffs, so they will be looking to build off of the success they had last season.
With Jacobs now in their offensive backfield, the Packers are hoping he can help them win their first division title since 2021.
I wouldn’t advise it 😂 https://t.co/oLGzYV2eSf

It is nice to see new teammates already getting along (and giving each other a tough time).
The Packers will look to elevate their team from playoff contenders to Super Bowl contenders in 2024.
