Aaron Jones, Sr. Reaches 10,000 Career Scrimmage Yards

Most of Jones’ milestones were achieved while wearing the green and gold. He split backfield duties his first two years in Green Bay and became a star in 2019, leading the league with 19 total touchdowns. Jones was selected to his first Pro Bowl the following season, posting his second of four campaigns to date with 1,000 rushing yards and the second of four consecutive campaigns with more than 45 catches in 2019–22.

Jones finished his Titletown tenure with 5,940 rush yards and 2,076 receiving yards in 97 games and 85 starts. He joined the Vikings in 2024 at age 30 and displayed the same juice that endeared him to Packers fans, setting career highs in carries (255) and yards on the ground (1,138) for the Purple. He also hit a career-best 82.3% of his targets, with 51 receptions for 408 yards through 62 interceptions.

The 5-foot-10, 208-pound RB is the third player to reach the 10,000-yard benchmark in 2025, joining Philadelphia RB Saquon Barkley and newly signed Buffalo WR Brandin Cooks. He is also the fifth active RB, joining Barkley, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey. The list of current or former players from that club who ever represented the Vikings are WR Stefon Diggs, RB Adrian Peterson, WR Randy Moss, WR Chris Carter, RB Terry Allen, RB Herschel Walker, RB Roger Craig, and WR Harold Jackson.

Another milestone for Jones to take; He is three touchdowns away from 75 for his career.
