Aaron Jones or Brandon Bolden? The NFL Stat Breakdown

The career statistics tell a clear story in this RB comparison. Aaron Jones holds the advantage in 5 of 6 key categories, with Rushing Yards representing the most decisive gap — a 479.9% difference that separates these two NFL players. This is not a close debate on the numbers.

Aaron Jones's Rushing Yards of 8,084 compared to Brandon Bolden's 1,394 represents a 479.9% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Brandon Bolden falls 74.7% below the career average of 5500 in this category while Aaron Jones exceeds it. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Aaron Jones's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Yards Per Carry, where Aaron Jones posts 4.8 against Brandon Bolden's 4.6 — a gap of just 4.3%. Brandon Bolden can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 5-1 tally suggests. In any debate, Yards Per Carry is the statistical ammunition for the Brandon Bolden side.

Running back careers are defined by efficiency as much as volume. Yards per carry separates elite backs from good ones, while receiving ability from the backfield has become increasingly valuable in the modern NFL.

Aaron Jones wins this head to head comparison decisively — 5 categories to 1. The 479.9% gap in Rushing Yards alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Aaron Jones's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
