UAB running back Isaiah Jacobs is attending the Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp as a tryout player, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The news marks a unique opportunity for the young prospect to potentially join his older brother, Josh Jacobs, on the Packers' roster.
Isaiah Jacobs, who spent time at Maryland and South Florida before transferring to UAB, finished his 2023 season with the Blazers recording 249 rushing yards and three touchdowns in limited action. He now looks to make an impression on the Green Bay coaching staff during the evaluation period. His brother, Josh Jacobs, joined the Packers this offseason on a high-profile free-agent contract after a standout tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The addition of Isaiah Jacobs as a tryout player allows the Packers to evaluate backfield depth while providing a compelling family storyline for the organization. If he performs well during the minicamp, he could earn a contract to compete for a roster spot during training camp later this summer. The Packers rookie minicamp serves as the first professional look for many undrafted free agents and tryout candidates as they attempt to break into the NFL.
