After watching on from the sidelines in the opening week of the NFL playoffs, Aaron Jones and the Green Bay Packers finally get to commence their post-season push this Sunday (Australian time) when they take on the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field in the NFC’s Divisional Round.Part of an offence that propelled the Packers to 13 wins and the NFC’s number-one seed, Jones logged 799 yards on 171 carries in 2021 -- good for a 4.7-yard average -- for four touchdowns, while adding a further 52 receptions for 391 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. The 27-year-old back missed his team’s Week 18 contest against the Detroit Lions due to a knee injury but looms as a likely contributor against the ‘Niners this weekend. A former star at UTEP -- the University of Texas at El Paso -- Jones joined ESPN’s Patrick Djordjevic to discuss why he keeps returning to the American border city each offseason, his work with those with special needs, his upbringing in a military household as well as his continuing close relationship with his family, and how he coped with the death of his father – who died in 2021 from complications of COVID-19. Famously, Jones would lose a pendant he wore bearing the ashes of his father during a game against the Lions earlier this season -- a game in which he would score four touchdowns -- but it would mercifully be recovered by Packers' trainer Bryan Engel.
