Josh Jacobs aims to ‘catch at least 60 balls’ this season

Josh Jacobs – who was snubbed in favor of Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award last year – gave himself a “B” grade for his rookie season.

With an eye on improvement in Year 2, Jacobs wants to make huge leap in the receiving game. Jacobs was tremendous on the ground (which is his biggest priority in Jon Gruden’s offense) as he had 1,150 yards rushing in 13 games as a receiver. The first-round pick from Alabama in the 2019 draft had 20 receptions on 27 targets.
