Aaron Jones, a running back for the NFL team Green Bay Packers, has achieved significant milestones in his career. He is one of only five running backs in NFL history with 1,000 rushing attempts and a 5-yards-per-carry average. Jones also belongs to a select group of players with 45 rushing touchdowns, 18 receiving touchdowns, 5,000 rushing yards, and a 5-yard rushing average. Impressively, he rushed for over 100 yards in his last five games with the Packers, including two 100-yard games in the playoffs, setting a remarkable record. In the 2023 season, Jones led the NFL in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and yards after contact per attempt. Despite battling injuries, he finished the season strongly with five consecutive games of 100+ rushing yards, exceeding expectations by 151 yards. Jones has amassed 6,451 rushing yards, including playoffs, making him one of the most productive 5th-round running backs in NFL history.
If you discount Herschel Walker -- who was already playing in the USFL & was a throwaway pick -- only one 5th-round RB in #NFL history has rushed for more yards than Aaron Jones (6,451, playoffs included). And Jones isn't done yet. #Packers #Cowboys #Falcons #Broncos #Jet https://t.co/63aVKmy3Zj
Hard to believe any #NFL RB has ever rushed for 100+ yards in his last 5 games with a team, the way Aaron Jones has. But here's Barry Sanders going on a 5-game run in his last *season* with the #Lions & Jim Brown missing the same feat with the #Browns by a yard. #Packers https://t.co/VmrMVQE2k8 https://t.co/4wMsJHSz2N
From Week 16 through the divisional round, Aaron Jones led the NFL in rushing attempts (102), rushing yards (585), and he averaged 4.11 yards after contact per attempt with a league-high 29 forced missed tackles. The Vikings just stumbled upon a star. https://t.co/hnGvFoqmfy
After battling injuries throughout the season, Aaron Jones recorded 100 rushing yards or more in his five final games of the 2023 season, en route to a league-high +151 rushing yards over expected over that span. #Skol https://t.co/EjnXSxwFH6 https://t.co/uhKdNFkUHP
Kinda wild that Aaron Jones rushed for 100+ yards in the last *5* games he played for the #Packers. In fact, his 2 100-yard games in the playoffs were the first 2 of his postseason career. This has gotta be some kind of record. Look at this: 😂 https://t.co/MwzXVTrWdI
I'll finish up with this Aaron Jones stat because it's really cool. The very short list of RBs in #NFL history with 45 rushing TDs, 18 receiving TDs, 5,000 rushing yards & a 5-yard rushing average:😂 #Packers #Browns https://t.co/gw8fghIgJN https://t.co/cu8qUBMna2
Another stat that puts Aaron Jones' time in Green Bay in perspective: He is, at this point, 1 of just 5 RBs in #NFL history with 1,000 rushing attempts & a 5-yards-per-carry average. It ain't easy. #Packers https://t.co/VFH1hs8RWu https://t.co/cu8qUBMna2
