True to his complete skill set, Aaron Jones, Sr., made history with a catch.
Minnesota's team captain Jones reached 10,000 career scrimmage yards on his fifth touch Sunday.
Jones gained 13 yards on a screen pass on the first play of Minnesota's second offensive series at Seattle. The clinical reception made Jones the 122nd NFL player and the 60th RB/FB to achieve the 10K milestone.
He did it in his 122nd career game and 25th on the Vikings.
Jones entered Week 13 needing 13 yards to check off the round number. He scooted for 4 on the first play from scrimmage and carried again for 1 yard, plus hauled in a pair of passes for 6 on the initial drive.
In an almost full-circle moment last Sunday, Jones threatened to achieve the feat in front of rival fans who've maintained immense appreciation for the 2017 fifth-round draft pick. Jones had 54 scrimmage yards in the first half of Minnesota's 23-6 loss at Lambeau Field but netted just 3 the final two quarters.

Most of Jones' milestone yardage was gained while wearing green and gold. He split backfield duties his first two years in Green Bay and became a star in 2019, leading the league with 19 total touchdowns. Jones was elected to his first Pro Bowl the next season, in which he posted his second of four campaigns so far with 1,000 rushing yards and his second of four straight from 2019-22 with more than 45 catches.
Jones concluded his Titletown tenure with 5,940 rush yards and 2,076 receiving in 97 games and 85 starts. He joined the Vikings in his age 30 season in 2024 and showcased the same juice that endeared him to Packers fans, garnering career highs in carries (255) and yards on the ground (1,138) for the Purple. He also secured a career-best 82.3% of his targets, with 51 receptions for 408 yards via 62 opps.
The 5-foot-10, 208-pound RB is the third player in 2025 to hit the 10,000-yard benchmark, joining Philadelphia RB Saquon Barkley and newly signed Buffalo WR Brandin Cooks. He's also the fifth active RB, accompanied by Barkley, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey. The list of current or former players in that club who once repped the Vikings are WR Stefon Diggs, RB Adrian Peterson, WR Randy Moss, WR Cris Carter, RB Terry Allen, RB Herschel Walker, RB Roger Craig and WR Harold Jackson.
Another milestone for Jones is there for the taking; he's three touchdowns away from 75 in his career.
