Aaron Jones
RB
Jones is one of the few modern backs who sustained volume production into his 30s — and his best year in Minnesota came after his Green Bay chapter closed.
9-year career, 4 1,000-yard rushing seasons. The 2024 MIN debut at 1,138 yards was his best since 2020.

Why it matters. Jones is one of the few modern backs who sustained volume production into his 30s — and his best year in Minnesota came after his Green Bay chapter closed.
His 16 regular-season rushing TDs in 2019 tied Derrick Henry for the NFL lead — the most by any Packer RB since Ahman Green's 17 in 2003.

Why it matters. Sharing the league TD lead as a Green Bay back — an offense historically centered on passing — underscores how dominant Jones was in 2019 within the outside-zone scheme.
Career 4.88 YPC on 1,564 carries ranks 4th all-time among RBs with 1,000+ career carries — ahead of every active back except Derrick Henry.

Why it matters. High-volume backs who sustain efficiency tend to be scheme fits rather than just speed bursts — Jones' outside-zone alignment in Green Bay and Minnesota kept his per-carry numbers elite over nearly a decade.
GB years (2017-23): 5,940 yards, 45 TDs. MIN years (2024-25): 1,686 yards, 7 TDs. Minnesota gave him workhorse volume in 2024 that GB never did.

| Team | Years | Yds | TDs | TDs/Yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GB (2017-23) | 7 | 5,940 | 45 | 6.4 |
| MIN (2024-25) | 2 | 1,686 | 7 | 3.5 |
Why it matters. The team split shows that Jones' scoring efficiency peaked in Green Bay's short-yardage and red-zone usage — Minnesota ran him more, but in a different role that reduced TD opportunities.
52 career rushing TDs puts Jones 13th among RBs active in 2024-25 — in the same tier as David Montgomery, Nick Chubb, and Saquon Barkley.

| Nick Chubb | 54 |
Why it matters. Accumulating 52 TDs while working in a pass-first offense for 7 years in Green Bay reveals how efficient Jones was in limited red-zone touches — not a volume scorer but a conversion specialist.
8 playoff games, 8 total TDs (7 rushing + 1 receiving) — a 1.0 TD-per-game postseason rate that matches Saquon Barkley and Leonard Fournette.

Why it matters. Jones' postseason efficiency exceeds his regular-season rate — he averaged 0.42 rush TDs/game in the regular season but 0.88 in the playoffs, suggesting he elevates in high-pressure games.
