The Minnesota Vikings shocked some folks by not making it a point to revamp their running back room this offseason. The team reworked the deal of Aaron Jones, brought back Jordan Mason, and drafted Demond Claiborne. All those moves did not want give the Vikings the biggest shot in the arm, but they seem happy with their backfield as is.
According to PFF's Max Chadwick and Dalton Wasserman, there remains work to be done. They recently ranked the 32 best running backs in the NFL, and the only one in the backfield to be ranked was Jones. Sadly, he was placed into the 29th spot ahead of only players like Jacory Croskey-Merit, Jadarien Price, and Chris Rodriguez.
They write, "Jones is in the twilight of his career, but he still racked up 747 yards from scrimmage across just 12 games last season. When healthy, he can still be a productive committee piece, which he currently is alongside Jordan Mason. A healthier offensive line could also contribute to increased production on the ground, while potentially superior quarterback play could offer more chances for Jones in the passing game."
Jones will be entering his third season with the Vikings in 2026, and has had one great season and one not so great. Both he and the team are banking on a bounce back in 2026 before what could be an expected change next offseason.
