GREEN BAY, Wis. With upheaval at receiver, the Green Bay Packers might lean more on running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon this season by putting them on the field together more often. Asked about the po sibility, Dillon said: I cant give you the P.J. Williams Jersey secret sauce here, but the theory that you just brought up is very intriguing to me. I would love to see that. Thats my guy and so well make it happen. The Packers are ble sed to have one of the best one-two punches in the NFL. Last season, 24 running backs rushed for at least 750 yards. Dillon and Jones and Denvers Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams were the only set of teammates. Also, 25 running backs had at least 1,000 yards from scrimmage. Jones-Dillon, Gordon-Williams and Dallas Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard were the only tandems.Their relationship, so I think they feed off each other pretty well, running backs coach Ben Sirmans said. Its kind of a luxury because you can keep them both fresh throughout the game and then toward the end, you can either throw A.J. in there to pound and wear the defense down, or put Aaron in and, all of a sudden, the defense is worn down and its an explosive play. Having a blend of both those guys, that will continue throughout this upcoming season.With Jones mi sing some time, Dillon led the team with 803 rushing yards and averaged 4.3 yards Tony Jones Jr. Jersey per carry. En route to his third consecutive season of 1,000 total yards, Jones was right on Dillons heels with 799 rushing yards and a 4.7-yard average.Last season, 36 running backs had at least 136 rushing attempts (eight per game). Despite their obviously different skill-sets and running styles, they tied for eighth with 3.18 yards after contract per carry, according to Pro Football Focus.In the 2017 draft, Jones was the 19th running back selected. With 4,163 rushing yards, he trails only Dalvin Cook (4,820), Joe Mixon (4,564) and Alvin Kamara (4,238) and is ahead of the drafts two first-rounders, Leonard Fournette (3,810) and Christian McCaffrey (3,587). Of the 30 running backs selected, hes fifth with 183 receptions and seventh with 1,448 receiving yards.While its po sible this year will be his last with the Packers his cap charge explodes to $20 million next season Jones has cemented himself as one of the great players in franchise history. He ranks fifth in franchise history in rushing yards. He could pa s Hall of Famer Tony Canadeo (4,197) and move into fourth place in Week 1, and John Brockingtons third-place mark of 5,024 rushing yards is just 861 yards out of his reach.Scroll to ContinueJones isnt just great by Packers standards. Jones and two NFL legends, Hall of Famers Jim Brown of Cleveland and Jim Taylor of Green Bay, are the only players in NFL history with at least 4,000 rushing yards, 40-plus rushing touchdowns and a 5.0-yard average in their first five seasons. According to Stathead, Jones career average of 5.06 yards per carry is the sixth-best in NFL history among running backs with at least 800 carries. Jones name is sandwiched between five Hall of Famers Marion Motley is first and Brown is fourth; Gales Sayers is seventh, Barry Sanders is eighth and Joe Perry is ninth. For all the power in those bulging quads, to become the next great back. Last year, Dillon had 18 more carries than Jones but seven fewer 10-yard runs. In fact, Dillons nine runs of 10-plus yards were the fewest of those aforementioned 36 backs with 136 carries. His 10-yard run rate of 4.8 percent was also the worst, well behind Miamis Myles Gaskin (6.9 percent).Hes got that type of ability, Sirmans said, because he can actually make you mi s in the open field. Hes got the ability to put a little juke on you, even for a guy his size, so its really just bringing all those different facets of his game, just bringing those attributes together and let him apply them. I think he will have more explosive runs this year.However, Dillons J.T. Gray Jersey ability to seemingly get 4 and 5 yards on every run was a tremendous a set. He was No. 1 in the NFL in Pro Football Outsiders Succe s Rate, a metric that Cameron Jordan Jersey mirrors Green Bays win-lo s grading system.Plus, his hands were quite a revelation. After catching only 21 pa ses in three seasons at Boston College, Dillon caught 34 last year. Of 40 running backs to be targeted at least 30 times in the pa sing game, Dillons 91.9 percent catch rate ranked third and his 9.2 yards after the catch per catch ranked eighth, according to PFF. He had just one drop.Its definitely something Im still trying to work on, Dillon said. Coming in, I was always the big back whos only good for third-and-short, so I really want to be and I think of myself as an APB, an all-purpose back, no matter what the situation and I feel like last year was a good start, a good foothold if you will, but theres still a couple opportunities I wish I had caught the ball and been in better placement or ran a route better. So, Im happy with the improvement but obviously still working on it.I believe we have the best running back duo in the league, Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy said in June's Murphy Takes Five column at Packers.com. Here is our ranking of the best tandems entering the 2022 NFL season. No. 10: Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine, Cincinnati BengalsMixon finished fourth in the NFL with 1,519 yards from scrimmage and 16 total touchdowns. Hes topped 1,100 rushing yards three of the past four seasons. Combined, Mixon and Perine finished with 1,961 total yards, 69 receptions and 18 total touchdowns. Mixons brilliance and their combined pa s-catching ability gives them Malcolm Jenkins Jersey the edge over the other consideration here, New Englands Damien Harris (1,061 scrimmage yards) and Rhamondre Stevenson (729 scrimmage yards). No. 9: Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKi sic, Washington CommandersGibson rushed for 1,037 yards and added 42 receptions. McKi sic isnt much of a runner but he had 80 receptions in 2020 and 43 more in just 11 games last season. In 2021, they combined for 1,940 total yards, 85 receptions and 14 touchdowns. Gibson is dinged by his league-worst six fumbles. No. 8: James Conner and Darrel Williams, Arizona CardinalsConner has gone from feel-good story as cancer survivor to an established standout. Last season, he tallied 1,127 scrimmage yards and 18 total touchdowns. With the Chiefs, Williams added 1,010 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns. Thats 2,237 total yards, 86 receptions and 26 touchdowns. Of note, Conner caught 37-of-39 targets and finished second among backs with 10.1 yards per reception. Williams finished third with 9.6 yards per reception. No. 7: Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, Dallas CowboysElliott might not the dominant back of yesteryear but he still had 1,006 rushing yards and 1,289 yards from scrimmage. Explosive Tony Pollard, who finished fifth in yards after contact per carry, according to Pro Fo
