Monday was a tough day for a lot of people including myself.
Aaron Jones has been the engine for the Packers offense for a few years now. His versatility is nearly unmatched by being able to run it between the tackles and outside, catch passes and even pass protect. He is an ideal back in today’s NFL because he never has to come off the field.
But what set Jones apart was how endearing he was away from the field. His sombrero was iconic as was his oversized sunglasses. The fifth round pick from Texas-El Paso was a perfect fit for blue collar Green Bay and the city and state of Wisconsin loved him right back.
