Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has secured a spot in the 2025 Pro Bowl Games scheduled to take place next month. 

The Filipino American NFL star has been voted to the 2025 Pro Bowl – for the third time in his NFL career and the first time representing the Packers.

A dynamo on the field and a game-changer for Green Bay’s offense, Jacobs is only the fourth Packers running back to achieve this feat in the last 25 years.

His 2025 Pro Bowl selection arrives amid a stellar debut season with the Packers. Despite their loss last week, the 25-year-old running back matched a franchise record with seven consecutive games showcasing a rushing touchdown.

Achieving the distinction of being the fifth player in franchise history to rush for over 1,200 yards in a season, Jacobs completed a total of 14 rushing touchdowns this year.

Reflecting on this season, Jacobs told SI News, “Man, it’s weird. It’s like bittersweet for me. Obviously, it’s good – I’ve had a good year and things like that – but when I look back on myself and grade myself, there’s so much out there that still can be had for me and even for this team.”

Born to a Filipina mother, Lachelle Jacobs, and an African American father, Marty Jacobs, the NFL star has always embraced his diverse roots.

His identity and heritage have given him a distinct perspective and the drive to accomplish more and leave a mark on the league.

“For me, it’s been fun. I’ve enjoyed my time and I try to leave my mark and my legacy here. I’m going to continue to keep trying to do that,” Jacobs added. 

A dialogue on Thursday between stakeholders, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), members of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Mr. Lhatu, executive director of Gross National Happiness (GNH) Centre Bhutan, highlighted the need to promote the welfare of Filipino workers.

The core Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which excludes volatile fresh food prices, followed a reading of 2.7 percent in July and was in line with market expectations.

Jacobs’ transfer to the Packers this season was driven by a few factors: a reunion with former Raiders special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, a lucrative deal and a chance to join a young growing team.

Bisaccia described him as someone with a “unique, dynamic personality.”

“He has a tremendous sense of empathy for someone else’s story, regardless of who they are or what their walk is in life. He’s always pleasant as a person,” Bisaccia said. 

Jacobs’ 2025 Pro Bowl selection further solidifies his place among the NFL elites and sets him up for even greater success in the future.
