Aaron Jones snagged the RB room’s lone touchdown through the air against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. It was also his most impressive performance through the air of the entire career. He had five receptions for 63 yards, good for 12.6 yards per reception.
One year earlier in 2017, Jones didn’t have a single receiving touchdown and brought in only nine receptions for 22 yards total.
During organized team activities and minicamp, Jones explained that pass-catching was something he emphasized during his offseason training. The reason why is pretty clear. It’s an element of the team’s offense that was sorely missing the last few seasons.
