The Oakland Raiders second pick of the first round, rookie running back from Alabama Josh Jacobs has started off the season hot, rushing for 430 yards and four touchdowns on a 4.8 average through the first five games of the season.
Three of the last four Rookie of the Year winners were running backs, those three being Saquon Barkley last year in 2018, Alvin Kamara in 2017, and Todd Gurley in 2015.
Jacobs has more rushing yards than any of them did their first five weeks in the NFL minus Todd Gurley, but Barkley had more all-purpose yards.
