Unveiling the 2024-25 All-NFC North Preseason Team...
Aaron Jones is without a doubt one of the most electrifying running backs in the NFL and anticipation for what he will do in Kevin O'Connell's offense is very high despite the fact that he's 29 years old and the Packers let him walk for nothing.
Jones gained at least 100 yards at 5.0 yards per carry or more in each of the final five Packers games in 2023-24, including a three-touchdown playoff game against the Cowboys. He followed up his Dallas domination with 6.0 yards per carry and 108 yards in Green Bay's Divisional Round loss to the 49ers.
The Packers are betting on Jacobs having a bounce-back season. After rushing for an NFL-high 1,653 yards with 12 touchdowns and a 4.9-yard average in 17 games in 2022, Jacobs rushed for 805 yards with six touchdowns and a 3.5-yard average in 13 games in 2023.- Jacobs went from 90 missed tackles in 2022 to 28 in 2023. In 90 fewer carries, Jones forced 26 missed tackles.
- Jacobs went from 3.40 yards after contact in 2022 to 2.35 in 2023. Jones averaged 3.16 yards after contact.However, the Packers are offering stability while Jacobs dealt with disarray while playing under the franchise tag in Las Vegas.
