The verified numbers with Minnesota
| Season | Carries | Rush yds | Rush TD | Rec | Rec yds | Rec TD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 255 | 1,138 | 5 | 51 | 408 | 2 |
| 2025 | 132 | 548 | 2 | 28 | 199 | 1 |
In 2024 he carried 255 times for 1,138 rushing yards and 5 rushing touchdowns, adding 51 receptions. The 2025 line is smaller in every column — partly explained by a Week 2 hamstring injury that put him on injured reserve for several games that season, see the injury update — which is why the stats page lets you view each season on its own instead of blending them.
The sombrero celebration
Jones is known for putting on a sombrero after touchdowns, a celebration he debuted in 2019. A tribute to his hometown of El Paso, Texas; he also flashes “9-1-5” for the city's area code after scoring. Minnesota Vikings — hometown feature
What this profile deliberately leaves out
His family and relationships are frequent searches, but this site does not report on them — they are not relevant to his play and this is not a tabloid. Net worth is not published because it would require guessing at spending and taxes on top of the sourced salary figures already on the contract page. See how this site decides what to cover.
