GREEN BAY – When Aaron Jones’ star exploded early in his career, it could have become a tense situation for the Green Bay Packers.
He wasn’t the only running back the Packers drafted in their 2017 class. One round and 48 picks earlier, they selected Jamaal Williams. It was apparent early in their careers Jones would become the star. He rushed for 105 yards on 19 carries in is first preseason, a 5.53-yard average. Williams rushed for 61 yards on 25 carries, a 2.44-yard average.
Still, Williams was the fourth-round pick. He played in his first career game, a Week 1 home matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
