Josh Jacobs

When you find a running back as big as Jacobs is (5-foot-10, 216 pounds) who can play all three-downs, you want to take a close look at him. One of my favorite things about Jacobs was that he does this stutter-step movement as he approaches the line of scrimmage, almost as if he's indecisive, but then plants his foot and bursts up the field in a hurry. He will try to bounce runs outside and make something out of nothing, but he doesn't have the burst and speed Saquon Barkley does to do the same thing. He is a quick-twitch running back for someone who's nearly 220 pounds and he is built extremely proportionate and not easy to tackle. Shows his natural athleticism when returning kickoffs, too. Him not participating in the Combine shouldn't negatively affect his draft value.

Fantasy Impact

It's a weak draft class for running backs but many consider Jacobs to be the best of the group. The Ravens brought in Mark Ingram in free agency but apparently aren't done looking for help at running back. Baltimore figures to be one of the run-heaviest teams in the league this season. Jacobs' arrival would obviously be a hit to Ingram's fantasy value.
