The Green Bay Packers have played 1,498 games since joining the NFL in 1921. And brand-new Viking Aaron Jones ranks third in career rushing — 5,940 yards and a 5.0-yard average — out of every last Cheesehead who has ever touched a football the past 103 seasons.
Exciting?
Yeah, but …
He's 29 years old, barreling toward the big 3-0uch come December. In other words, the 5-9, 208-pounder known for his speed and versatility — and a 6.0-yard average per carry in nine starts against the Vikings — has reached that age.
