Not everything went according to Jones’ plans, though.
Aaron Jones’ father victim of COVID-19
Alvin Jones, Sr., Aaron’s father, died earlier this year, April 6. The 57-year-old spent his last days in an El Paso hospital. Alvin Jones, Sr., was a COVID-19 victim.
In June, the Player’s Tribune ran the following homage written by Aaron Jones about his father:
Jones praise inspirational father
Said Jones, who has led the Packers in rushing in each of the past three years.
The RB knew there was no replacing his father in the stands, but he still wanted to feel his biggest supporter and teacher close to him. So Jones played with a necklace with a football-shaped medallion that contained his dad’s ashes inside.
Unfortunately, Jones lost the necklace. Probably after his second touchdown. He revealed this in an interview after the game.
However, the RB was not unhappy about it. Quite the opposite, as he said in the same post-game interview:
A well deserved ending for Jones
In a Tuesday morning interview for 97.3 The Game, Jones had excellent and happy news about the situation when questioned about the necklace.
Jones stated.
It certainly was a terrific Tuesday for Jones. He has his necklace back, he helped the Packers win their first game of the season, and he put the following numbers on the game:
Rushing:
17 carries67 yards3. 9 yards on average1 TD.
Receiving:
6 receptions48 yards8. 0 yards on average3 TDs.
With 41.50 points (NFL), Jones undoubtedly also drove many Fantasy teams to victory.
There are few perfect days in life. Unquestionably, the Packers’ RB is having one of those today. He earned it, and it is well-deserved.
