Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had a very impressive season in 2018, rushing for 728 yards and eight touchdowns while averaging a league-leading 5.5 yards per carry. In addition, he hauled in 26 receptions for 206 yards and a score.

Pro Football Focus has posted a graphic to show just how much Jones improved from his rookie campaign this past year:

Jones, who played his collegiate football at UTEP, was originally selected by the Packers in the fifth round (182nd pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

He appeared in 12 games during his rookie campaign, finishing with 448 yards and four scores while averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. He was a virtual non-factor in the passing game, catching just nine passes for 22 yards.

Jones has missed four games in each of his first two seasons due to knee injuries, but when he is on the field, he is certainly an explosive runner, and many are expecting him to have a breakout year under new head coach Matt LaFleur heading into 2019.

Green Bay is coming off of a season in which it went just 6-9-1, marking the first time since 2006 that the Packers missed the playoffs in back-to-back years. In 2017, Green Bay won seven games and failed to qualify for the postseason, largely due to the fact that Aaron Rodgers missed most of the season with a broken collarbone.

As a result of the Packers' struggles this past season, the team fired long-time head coach Mike McCarthy, who had been at the helm for the Packers since 2006 and led the team to a Super Bowl title during the 2010-11 campaign.
