Aaron Jones Is The Most Underrated Running Back In The NFL

 

Aaron Jones Is The Most Underrated Running Back In The NFL

        This take isn't controversial at all! The stats come to prove it too, Aaron Jones is flying under the radar going into this upcoming NFL season. 
    
        Jones has rushed for 1,000 yards in three of his last four seasons in the league, his best being last season in 2022 with 1,121 yards rush yards.

    Jones is also an impressive receiving back, in the past four seasons he's had over 300 yards receiving in each season. His best season receiving came in 2019 with 474 receiving yards. His career highs in receiving touchdowns also came in the past two seasons with 5 in 2022 and 6 in 2021.

    My point being listing all these stats? It's simple, Aaron Jones is one of very few running backs in this league who can get it done both ways. A versatile running back like Jones is hard to come by in this league considering where the running back position has trended in recent seasons up to this point.

     Running back committees have shown effectiveness just as recently as the Chiefs in 2022 in their Super Bowl win. But being able to keep a guy on the field for three downs and the defense having to guess what is happening next is something that is becoming a lost art.

     Aaron Jones has continued to fly under the radar even with his success in past seasons and his future in Green Bay has him aiming to be one of the best running backs in franchise history. This season I expect that we are going to see Jones handle the rock a ton in order to help Jordan Love ease into his first season as the starter.

     I can see Green Bay going back to the style that got them to what we are known as today. No, I'm not saying the power sweep is making a return, but running the football is what makes Green Bay tough to play, even more so in the frozen tundra in the winter months. We seem to have gotten away from that in the Rodgers era and this is the perfect opportunity for Green Bay to go back to being a gritty football team. 

    With Matt Lafleur having full control of the reigns on offense, I have full confidence in this Green Bay squad having balance on offense. Week should get all Packers fans even more fired up going against a sorry Bears defense.

    Real Packer fans know.🧀

                Ladies and gentlemen, here is your 2025 Green Bay Packers NFL Draft Recap. First off, you gotta hand the city of Green Bay their flowers.

Image
There’s been a lot of talk about what the Packers need personnel wise going into next season. The big question is what do they need most? Some would argue a pass rusher or two considering the team that just won the Super Bowl didn’t blitz once. Others would say a true number one receiver to make the clutch plays when the Packers need them. There’s plenty of valid excuses for each position that needs to be improved upon going into next season. As for Real Packer Fans Know, here are the top five NEEDS the Packers have going into next season from least to most important.              5.

The Packers Can't Beat a Good Team. Now They're Playing with House Money in the Playoffs Again

Evan Siegle, packers.com No embedded tweets in this blog, folks. Just straight heat surrounding our beloved Green Bay Packers. Another hole dug too deep, and another comeback that started too late. Nothing new from the Packers after the loss to the Vikings on Sunday. I thought the Packers had a chance to steal this one, and they did give themselves a shot at the end of the game. But it didn’t matter. They never deserved to be in the game from the beginning. You can go on and on about the things this team needs to do to be better. The main thing is, they just make too many mistakes. Drops on offense. I mean, Jayden Reed has fallen off the face of the earth, the true definition of all or nothing. The Packers have no passing offense right now compared to the end of last season. Obviously, they are run-first thanks to Josh Jacobs, but there was absolutely no passing game until they ran tempo against the Vikings' prevent defense in the fourth quarter. Jordan Love had about 64 passin...
