Aaron Jones lands with Green Bay Packers at 182nd overall
The Green Bay Packers selected UTEP running back Aaron Jones with the 182nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Jones (5’10/208) turned pro as a redshirt junior. He boosted his stock at the Combine with a 4.56 forty, (37 ½-inch vertical, 10’7" broad jump, and an impressive 6.82 three-cone time. On tape, Jones is a determined inside runner with plus vision, darting quickness, and serious big-play ability. While probably not an NFL workhorse, Jones is one of this year’s top backfield sleepers.
Jones shattered UTEP’s all-time rushing record in only three seasons, finishing his career with 4,114 rushing yards, 40 all-purpose touchdowns, a 6.25 yards-per-carry average, and 71 receptions. Jones will compete with Christine Michael and Jamaal Williams for carries.
