Aaron Jones
Although he was never used with the same quantity as other top running backs across the NFL (possibly due to concern about his injury history), he produced top-notch quality for the second straight season. Despite failing to attain the sheer number of touchdowns he put up in 2019, this season was probably the best one of his career.
Jones ran for a career-high 1104 yards on 201 attempts which came out to a very impressive 5.5 yards per carry average. He also recorded double-digit touchdowns for the second-straight season.

Jones’ playmaking was on full display in just about every game. He had good vision, could slice through holes and make defenders miss at every level. He was also a very hard runner despite his small stature. It was a tough way for him to go out with two fumbles and an injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Jones was stellar for the Packers once again.
