The Wisconsin-based NFL franchise, Green Bay Packers, could not have asked for a better start to their 2020 NFL campaign. They started off with a commanding 43-34 win over their NFC North rivals Minnesota Vikings in Week One.

They followed that up with a comprehensive 42-21 win over the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field last weekend. Aaron Rodgers was the star in Game One, but running back Aaron Jones grabbed headlines during Week Two.

The experienced pass rusher had an outstanding individual game against Matthew Stafford’s outfit. Jones has 230+ rushing yards and three rushing TDs across two games. The 25-year-old also led the charts in receiving yards against the Detroit Lions with one rushing TD to his name.

“He is one of the greatest teammates that I’ve had in 16 years. He is the most respectful teammate, possibly, that I’ve ever had…he’s just such a great kid.

“He’s not jealous, doesn’t have any jealousy. He cheers for his teammates, he pulls for em. He blocks his ass off, he’s obviously a great runner of the football, he can take it to the distance.

“He’s worked hard in areas that, you know, he’s needed to improve on…he’s a great representation of our organization and our community,” Rodgers said on the show.
