Jones rushed for a career-high 1,084 yards on 236 carries (4.6 avg.) in the regular season, making him Green Bay's first 1,000-yard rusher since RB Eddie Lacy in 2014. His 16 regular-season rushing TDs tied Tennessee's Derrick Henry for the NFL lead, a first for a Packers player since Jim Taylor led the league in rushing touchdowns with 19 in 1962.
Since being drafted in the fifth round in 2017, Jones ranks third among NFL running backs with an average of 5.02 yards per carry (min. 200 att.). That's also the highest average in franchise history for a Packers running back with at least 400 carries.
Jones is one of only three players in the NFL (Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram are the others) to post 80-plus carries and average 4.5-plus yards per carry each of the last three seasons (2017-19).
