Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs often lets his in-game performances do the talking.

The former Alabama standout became a part of the 2020 Pro Bowl after finishing the season with 1,065 years and 12 touchdowns.

Those numbers are comparable to his rookie season wherein he tallied 1,150 yards and seven touchdowns.

However, the man of few words tweeted his thoughts regarding the AFC West.

We have the craziest division

— Josh Jacobs (@iAM_JoshJacobs) March 8, 2022

The 24-year-old player needed five words to summarize the intense competition shaping up among the Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs.

Indeed, the AFC West is shaping up to become a crazy division because of the overall talent those four teams have.

 

Intense Games In The AFC West

The Raiders made the playoffs despite losing former head coach Jon Gruden roughly midway into the season.

Likewise, wide receiver Henry Ruggs III and cornerback Damon Arnette left the team due to off-field issues.

Still, they have Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr who will be feeding the ball to Jacobs, Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones, and tight end Darren Waller.

On defense, the team will have defensive lineman Maxx Crosby for a while.

Denzel Perryman was among the league leaders in tackles last season while Casey Hayward Jr. patrols the secondary.

Meanwhile, the Chargers signed Mike Williams to a three-year extension worth $60 million.

He will be one of Justin Herbert‘s top targets, together with Keenan Allen, Jalen Guyton, and Jared Cook.

Austin Ekeler is also a versatile back who can make defenses pay.

Joey Bosa and Derwin James will be the cornerstones of the Chargers’ defense.

On the other hand, the Broncos added Russell Wilson to their already stacked offense with Javonte Williams, Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, and Tim Patrick.

They also have playmakers Bradley Chubb, Justin Simmons, and Pat Surtain II on defense.

Finally, Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce remain the Chiefs’ big three on offense.

Each AFC West team is stacked, making intra-division games highly exciting.
