279 - Aaron Jones Dominates, Packers Linebackers Disappoint

•

Aaron Jones had a phenomenal 2019, but what about the rest of the Packers’ running backs. Then, Blake Martinez was pretty much Blake Martinez in 2019. Is there hope of replacing him in free agency?


Packers top end RBs deliver in 2019 (3:40)
