signing inside power runner Josh Jacobs and massive offensive lineman Aaron Banks, supposedly a road grader on the ground, while drafting Anthony Belton, another massive lineman who supposedly could move bodies on the ground.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Jacobs absent in 2026 despite heavy Packers investment in gap-based run scheme.

Packers invested heavily in Josh Jacobs as an inside power runner in 2024–2025 to transition from wide zone to gap-based ground game, but in 2026 he is nowhere to be found; he was the best of the three offensive line/running back investments (alongside Aaron Banks and Anthony Belton), yet his absence contributes to the Packers ranking worst among post-Lombardi coaches in rushing yards through three weeks of LaFleur's final season.
