Packers running back Aaron Jones was a proud cousin and one of the UConn men's basketball team's biggest supporters during its national championship run

Aaron Jones has been one proud cousin these last few weeks and essentially became the ultimate UConn Huskies fan.

In between Jones' recent workouts with quarterback Jordan Love in California, the Packers running back has been popping up at UConn Huskies games during the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

And on Monday night, Jones was all over NRG Stadium in Houston for UConn's 76-59 win over San Diego State to support his cousin, Tristen Newton, one of the stars of UConn's national championship team.
