What Bringing in Aaron Rodgers Would Mean to Josh Jacobs
Though Super Bowl LVII just wrapped up, this offseason has already been a whirlwind for the Las Vegas Raiders.
For a while, it seemed there was a solid chance legendary quarterback Tom Brady could have suited up for the Silver and Black next season. Still, that speculation was put to rest with his retirement announcement.
"I'm not gonna to lie, I was [disappointed] just because of the fact that, man, Brady is like, he's [in] the same category as Aaron Rodgers, for me," Raiders running back Josh Jacobs said when he spoke with CBS Sports Radio's Zach Gelb on Thursday.
"In terms of, it's just guys you want to be around. Guys who you want to see how they think and how they've been this good for that long. And just being able to pick their brain and be able to see: 'OK, he views this this way, or he works this way and he takes care of his body this way.' It's just something that i would want to be able to experience."
Now, it's Rodgers' name that has bounced around in the media, and Jacobs is one of the stars who believe his presence would be for the better.
"I ain't gonna lie, I feel like that would change a lot of dynamic for me," Jacobs said. "Especially with just like the contract talks and everything. I feel like when you bring in certain guys into the building, you're willing to do things a little differently. So it definitely would be a great day."
