ESPN named it's 100 top NFLFU players for 2023 and Aaron Jones was not in the top 100.  Only Jaire Alexander made it at # 24.  No other Packers were listed and maybe they shouldn't have been except Jones.

Why doesn't Jones get more respect?   The 2017 fifth-round pick has been as reliable as they come, finishing inside the top 15 at RB in targets, receptions and scrimmage yards each of the past four seasons.  His rushing efficiency has been nothing short of elite -- he sits second in yards per carry (5.1) among 40 RBs with 550-plus carries.  Sure he doesn't score a lot of TDs but that is because MLF prefers to use A.J. Dillion down close to the goal.   I guess Aaron just has to prove them rong.

RB position is so devalued, Derrick Henry with 1500+ rushing yards barely made the top 100.  I think he was like #92.

I have to be honest, I would not take Jones over the other RBs that made the top 100.  There’s some guys at some other positions that are questionable but I just think in general RBs aren’t thought of as important as they once were when the NFL was more run oriented.
