Aaron Jones Facts

  • Owing to his parents’ jobs, Aaron and his siblings grew up living in Germany, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and near the Mexican border in the city of El Paso.
  • Growing up, Aaron Jones looked up to football players like Emmitt Smith, Percy Harvin, and Tyrod Taylor.
  • Before he completed his senior year, his father retired from his job in order to start a marketing company to jump-start the recruiting process for his sons.
  • He had promised his parents that he would finish school even if he were drafted into the NFL.
  • In the 2017 NFL Draft, he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round as the 182nd overall. On May 5, 2017, he signed a contract with the team.
  • Aaron Jones was cited for a traffic stop (for an incident that occurred on October 1, 2017) on November 20, 2017, as he was reportedly 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. He was subsequently charged with operating with a restricted controlled substance, operating without a valid license, and speeding and his license was suspended for six months.
  • He was very close to his father and after Alvin Sr.’s death, he was cremated with the ashes put into a chain for Aaron. Aaron once lost the chain upon scoring a touchdown during a game against the Detroit Lions but an athletic trainer fortunately found it and eventually returned it to the player.
  • Aaron Jones is often seen sporting a sombrero which serves as an homage to his hometown of El Paso, a majority-Hispanic city. His hometown has also often received his tribute in the form of his signature touchdown celebration in which he holds up nine, one, and five fingers in quick succession (El Paso is covered by area code 915) before flexing his bicep.
