CBS Sports' Emory Hunt shared his thoughts on potential destinations for recently released running back Aaron Jones. He included the Kansas City Chiefs as an ideal spot for the veteran former Pro Bowler, given his experience and versatility.
"He (Aaron Jones) has what you still need to be functional as a running back throughout the entirety of your career, however long it is, it's the vision," Hunt said. "He still sees it rather well. Despite him being 31, you don't lose that vision. He has that, and he has it in space, so he'll be able to see it, and then he'll be able to hit it as it's opening up and being able to attack it downhill. So I just feel like that makes a lot of sense, whether they want to go old school or younger."
Last season with the Minnesota Vikings, Jones had 132 carries for 548 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games. Kansas City's running game lacked the explosive play all season due to injuries, and big plays were rare at the position. Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco led the team in rushing, but each finished under 1,000 yards.
While with the Green Bay Packers, Jones led the league in rushing touchdowns in 2019 and ranks third on the franchise's all-time rushing yards list.
