The return of outside zone will elevate Raiders RB Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs has become one of the best running backs in the NFL after the Las Vegas Raiders selected him in 2019. The first-round pick already has a Pro Bowl under his belt. He can be dynamic with the ball in his hands, exhibiting quickness and power to create highlight-reel plays.

In 2019, Jacobs was excellent during his 13 starts. Averaging 4.8 yards per carry, Jacobs helped a below-average football team overachieve to a 6-4 start. The Raiders running back then fell into the injury bug derailing his season.

He was dominant in the open field, forcing 69 missed tackles leading the NFL, and was 7th in yards after contact, according to PFF.
