Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones dropped a hilarious one-liner when asked about his age. Jones will turn 31 years old in the midst of the 2025 season.
During a press conference with reporters this week, the former Green Bay Packers running back how he’s able to keep performing now that he’s in his 30s, prompting Jones to respond with a classic “age is just a number.”
The metaphor didn’t stop there, however, as Jones then compared it to trying to get older women, something he says he’s been doing since he was a “little kid.”
“Age is just a number. I’ve been saying that ever since I was a little kid, trying to get older women,” the 30-year-old Jones said.

Since being drafted by the Packers out of UTEP in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Aaron Jones Sr. has played 8 seasons for the Packers and Vikings and has 1,432 carries for 7,078 yards, in addition to 323 catches for 2,484 yards. He has scored 70 total touchdowns and has been named to one Pro Bow.
In 17 games with the Vikings last season, Jones had 255 carries for 1,138 yards and scored 7 touchdowns. This season might be more difficult sledding, however, as the Vikings are turning to second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy as their starting QB, who has yet to prove himself in the NFL after missing the entirety of his rookie year due to an injury.
