When you lead the league in rushing, you’re often a fairly safe bet to win the FedEx Ground Player of the Year Award.
After a season in which Josh Jacobs ran away with the NFL rushing title, he was the runaway winner of the Ground Player of the Year Award.
The Award was presented at the NFL Honors Show Thursday night.
Jacobs’s 1653 yards rushing was more than 100 yards ahead of runner-up Derrick Henry. While Henry had one more TD (13) than Jacobs (12), his overall numbers were plenty to earn in the honor.
Along with his league-leading rushing numbers, Jacobs added 400 yards receiving, giving him over 2000 yards from scrimmage (2053).
