Early life

[edit]

Jones was born in Savannah, Georgia, to Vurgess and Alvin Jones Sr., two career non-commissioned officers in the US Army. As a child, Jones looked up to Emmitt Smith, Percy Harvin, and Tyrod Taylor.[1] He and his twin brother Alvin Jr., older brother Xavier, and sister Chelsirae moved around often living in Germany, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and near the Mexican border in the city of El Paso due to their parents' postings.[2]

Jones attended and played high school football for Burges High School in El Paso, Texas.[3] He had a three-star composite rating from 247Sports.com.[4] His father retired before his senior year and started a marketing company to jump-start the recruiting process for his sons.[2]

College career

[edit]

Jones attended and played college football for the UTEP Miners from 2013 to 2016 under head coach Sean Kugler.[5]

As a freshman, Jones played in nine football games. In his collegiate debut, against New Mexico, he had 11 carries for 127 yards and two rushing touchdowns.[6] On October 26, against Rice, he had a season-high 186 rushing yards.[7] Overall, he finished the 2013 season with 811 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, and four receptions for 14 yards.[8]

As a sophomore, Jones played in 12 games. He started the 2014 season off with three strong performances. In the season opener, he had 237 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a victory at New Mexico.[9] In the next game, a loss to Texas Tech, he had 144 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.[10] One week later, against New Mexico State, he had 168 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.[11] On November 15, against North Texas, he had 177 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the win.[12] On November 29, against Middle Tennessee State, he had 147 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown to go along with a 72-yard touchdown reception in the victory.[13] Overall, in the 2014 season, he finished with 1,321 rushing yards (then fourth in school history[14]), 11 rushing touchdowns, 30 receptions, 293 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns.[15]

As a junior, Jones played in only two games due to suffering an ankle injury early in the season.[16] On the year, he finished with 209 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, 106 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.[17] 91 of those came on the longest rushing play in school history against Texas Tech.

Jones at UTEP in 2016

As a senior, Jones played in 12 games. In his first game back from the ankle injury, he had 249 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in a win over New Mexico State,[18] then the third-most in school history.[14] In his second game of the season, Jones had 123 rushing yards on 18 carries in a loss against the Texas Longhorns with the Miners' lone touchdown of the game coming from a 51-yard run by Jones.[19] On October 29, against Old Dominion, he threw a three-yard passing touchdown in the loss.[20] In the next game against Houston Baptist, he had 228 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.[21] He followed that up with 229 rushing yards and two more rushing touchdowns in a loss at Florida Atlantic.[22] In his finale collegiate game, a win over North Texas, he had 301 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns,[23] second only to Fred Wendt's 326 yards in 1948 in school history.[14] Overall, he had eight carries of more than 40 yards[2] and finished his final collegiate season with 1,773 rushing yards, 17 rushing touchdowns, 28 receptions, 233 receiving yards, three receiving touchdowns, and one passing touchdown.[24]

This made Jones the most prolific rusher in UTEP Miners history and a top player. In terms of rushing yards, he had five of the school's top 12 games, and school records of 17 games with 100+ yards rushing, and five with 200+ yards. He holds the record for most rushing yards in a career (4,114), season (1,773; also fifth his second year), and career yards per game (117.5) including the 2nd- and 6th-best seasons in school history (147.8 in 2016; 110.1 in 2014). He is second all-time with 33 rushing touchdowns, including the school's 3rd- and 7th-best seasons (17 in 2016; 11 in 2014). His 4,760 career all-purpose yards and 136.0 per game average are both second all-time and included the school's fourth- and eighth-best seasons. He has three of the school's 10 longest rushing plays, including the record 91-yarder from his short junior season. His 240 career points scored is 4th all-time, and 2nd among non-kickers.[14]

2021 season

[edit]

On March 26, 2021, Jones signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers.[69][70] He has seen his production decrease as head coach Matt LaFleur has increased the usage of second-year teammate A. J. Dillon, failing to reach 1,000 rushing yards for the first time since 2018.[71]

In Week 1 against the Saints, Jones rushed five times for just nine yards.[72] He bounced back the following week against the Lions, rushing for 66 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, and added six receptions for 48 yards and three receiving touchdowns. He was the first Packers running back to catch three touchdowns in a game since Andy Uram in 1942, as the Packers won 35–17.[73][74] Jones had his first 100-yard game in a Week 5 25–22 overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals, tallying 103 yards on 14 carries, including a season-long 57-yard run.[75] In Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, with wide receivers Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling out due to COVID or injury, Jones was the primary target of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, catching a team-high seven passes for 51 yards as the Packers won 24–21.[76]

In Week 10 against the Seahawks, Jones went down with an MCL sprain.[77] He returned to limited action in a Week 12 win over the Rams.

In back-to-back-to-back must-win games for the Packers to earn a playoff berth in the team's first season with Jordan Love as the starting quarterback, Jones recorded at least 130 offensive yards in each game, helping secure a wild-card playoff spot.[93]

Jones ran for 118 yards with three touchdowns on 21 attempts in a Wild Card Round 48–32 win over the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.[94] In that performance, Jones set the franchise record for playoff rushing touchdowns with seven and tied the record for most rushing touchdowns by a Packer in a playoff game.[95]

Personal life

[edit]

During his tenure in Green Bay, Jones was known for wearing wraparound Oakley sunglasses and a sombrero decorated in Packers colors when arriving at a stadium before a game, on the sidelines, and in postgame interviews.[99] The sombrero is an homage to his hometown of El Paso, a majority-Hispanic city.[100] He also pays tribute to El Paso in his signature touchdown celebration, in which he holds up nine, one, and five fingers in quick succession before flexing his bicep (El Paso is covered by area code 915).[101]

Jones graduated from UTEP on May 12, 2018, with a degree in multidisciplinary studies, fulfilling a promise he had previously made to his parents that he would finish school even if drafted into the NFL.[2][102]

Jones had a close bond with his father, Alvin Sr., who died on April 6, 2021, from COVID-19.[103] Jones Sr. was cremated following his death, with the ashes put into a chain for Aaron. During a game against the Detroit Lions, he lost the chain upon scoring a touchdown (one of four that night), but an athletic trainer found it and returned it to him.[104]

Jones was an ambassador of the now bankrupt FTX and received compensation via cryptocurrency. Jones had also purchased an equity stake in the exchange which he is unlikely to recoup.[105]

On November 20, 2017, Jones was cited for a traffic stop, an incident that occurred on October 1 in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin. The day the incident occurred Jones was speeding at 79 miles per hour (127 km/h) at a 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) speed limit and had possession of marijuana. Jones was arrested and charged with operating with a restricted controlled substance, operating without a valid license, and speeding.[106] Jones pleaded no contest to the charges and was fined for court costs and had his license suspended for six months.[107]

Jones' cousin, Tristen Newton, was the starting point guard for the UConn Huskies men's basketball team during their 2023 national championship run and 2024 national championship run, and was named the 2024 Final 4 Most Outstanding Player. Aaron & Alvin Jones attended both Final Fours.[108]
