Aaron Jones gave Packers plenty of reasons to play running back roulette

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The examples of Aaron Jones' game-breaking ability over the past two years for the Green Bay Packers are just as numerous as there are running backs who turned out to be bad signings.

The Packers banked on Jones over recent league-wide trends.

All they can do now is sit back and watch how it unfolds.

Will the 26-year-old Jones, who signed a four-year, $48 million contract to return to the team that drafted him in 2017, become just another in a long line of running backs who regressed after their big deals (see Todd Gurley and Le'Veon Bell) or does he continue to provide the Packers with years like his 19-touchdown season of 2019 or games like his 236-yard day against the Lions last season?
