There have been many ways, more overt and subtle, players on the Green Bay Packers advocated for Aaron Jones. His quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, reiterated his support for the second-year back on Tuesday, saying “He’s a great player. We just need to continue to give him more opportunities.”
Rodgers has taken some not-so-veiled shots at the playcalling, particularly as it pertains to the run game this season. Green Bay hasn’t played with sufficient balance, especially on first down, and it took a career game from Aaron Jones for Mike McCarthy to stick with him.
