Aaron Jones and Josh Jacobs are two of the most promising young running backs in the NFL. Both ran for over 1,000 yards and found the end zone at least seven times in 2019.
There’s no doubt both of these young studs will be solid for years to come, and they should only get better moving forward.
Jacobs missed three games last season, which hurt his total production a bit, but he still led all rookies in rushing yards, finishing the season with 1,150 on the ground.
Jones played in all 16 games last year and was a clear focal point of the Green Bay Packers offensive attack. He scored 19 touchdowns in 2019, including 16 rushing touchdowns, tied for most in the league with Derrick Henry.
While both of these backs should continue to improve, which one will have the better outing in 2020? Based on last year’s output and the versatility he brings to the position, Aaron Jones figures to be the more productive back in 2020.
