While the Packers season may be over, one diehard fan and longtime service member is getting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity courtesy of a current Packers star.

Winning big games in the NFL postseason requires both game-changing players and the best from a team's top players, and the Green Bay Packers didn't get nearly enough from their best in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

On one side is Philadelphia's Saquon Barkley, who led the league with 2,005 rushing yards. On the other is Green Bay's Josh Jacobs, who finished sixth with 1,329. The pair combined for 28 rushing touchdowns, and each workhorse carried the ball more than 300 times this season.

Josh Jacobs is grateful for Nick Saban's guidance early on in his career.
