The Green Bay Packers certainly appear to have found some gems in the fifth rounds of the last two NFL Drafts. Last year, the Packers selected running back Aaron Jones from UTEP, while this year they picked up wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling from South Florida.
On Sunday, both players had huge plays in the second half against the unbeaten Los Angeles Rams, as they each scored touchdowns that combined to give the Packers a lead early in the fourth quarter. Jones scored on a delayed handoff up the middle, bursting through the center of the Rams’ defense for a 33-yard touchdown; a few minutes later, MVS shook cornerback Troy Hill and sprinted down field for a 40-yard score that put the Packers ahead.
