The Vikings signed former Packers running back Aaron Jones prior to the 2024 season to help reinforce a backfield that wasn’t all that stellar in 2023. While Jones was entering his age-29 season, the Vikings knew they were going to need his best — and a lot of it — if they were going to be successful last season following the injury to rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
What they got out of Jones in his first season with the Vikings was a career high in both single-season carries and rushing yards with 255 and 1,138, respectively.
