Raiders’ Josh Jacobs is the 2022 NFL rushing champion

Former Crimson Tide players finish one and two in NFL rushing yards in 2022

Nobody in the NFL covered more ground this year through the run game than the Las Vegas Raiders’ Josh Jacobs. Jacobs lead the league with 1,653 yards, over 100 yards more than Tennessee Titans’ Derrick Henry who finished in second with 1,538. As for Crimson Tide fans, this is very exciting news to see two former players lead the NFL in rushing.

The 2022 season was record-breaking for Jacobs, which is great because he is a free agent this summer and will be looking to get paid.

On top of his 1,653 yards rushing, Jacobs had 53 receptions on the year and found the end zone 12 times. Jacobs was the one constant piece in a very inconsistent Raiders team.
