Jones ranks fifth in the NFL with 325 total yards from scrimmage as the Vikings have started 3-0. When asked earlier this week about the running back's start to the season, Packers coach Matt LaFleur jokingly responded"Who?" before calling Jones"one of my favorite players that I've ever had the privilege to coach.
The Vikings have gotten Jones at his best, as he has 228 rushing yards on 42 carries and 97 receiving yards on 12 receptions. He has scored two touchdowns -- one rushing and one receiving -- and has made a big impact with his tenacious pass blocking.
