BREAKING: Green Bay Packers Leader Makes Interesting Sacrifice For Fellow Teammate
The Green Bay Packers have had an interesting off-season so far to say the least. Just a few weeks ago most fans and analysts presumed that Green Bay would keep Aaron Jones and move on from AJ Dillon. Today, Dillon is on the Packers roster for 2024 and Aaron Jones is a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
The Packers signing Josh Jacobs directly led to the team moving on from Aaron Jones. Jacobs’ arrival in Green Bay was met with both excitement and mourning. Fans were excited to see a 26-year-old running back join the team who is just one season removed from being the league’s leading rusher. However, moving on from Jones was not what anyone expected.
Green Bay Packers Quarterback Sean Clifford Gives Up His Number For Josh Jacobs
New Packers running back took to Twitter (X) to announce that he’ll continue to rock the #8:
Green Bay Packers’ Pro Shop now offers jerseys for Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney, whose new numbers were announced by the team. McKinney will wear #29 while Jacobs will wear #8.
Jacobs received #8 from 2023 fifth-round quarterback Sean Clifford, who will now wear #6. Clifford wore #14 in college and high school, so it’s unlikely that he had a strong emotional connection to #8. Jacobs wore #8 in high school, in college at Alabama, and with the Las Vegas Raiders.
