Josh “Vulture” Jacobs has earned his nickname for a reason—he has a knack for swooping in and stealing touchdowns at the most critical moments, often when the heavy lifting has already been done. While his teammates are grinding through the tough yards, running defenders over, or setting up the perfect play, Jacobs comes in like a vulture, capitalizing on the final push to the end zone. In many ways, Jacobs embodies the opportunistic, almost predatory nature of a vulture on the field. He’s rarely the one doing the bulk of the work or leading the charge down the field, but when the ball is near the goal line, Jacobs is often in the right place at the right time. Whether it's a short-yardage situation or a late-game scramble, he’s there to finish off the play, and more often than not, it’s with a touchdown that feels like it should’ve gone to someone else who did the heavy lifting. To fans and teammates, it's both frustrating and impressive—Jacobs is like the ultimate opportunist, always lurking for that moment when he can swoop in and take credit for the score. While his ability to do this is a testament to his awareness and football IQ, it also feeds into the perception that he's the ultimate "vulture" in the game. After all, in football, as in nature, it's not always about how much work you put in, but about who gets to feast when the spoils are finally up for grabs.
