There was no telling how the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Jones would react in their reunion on Sunday. A long-time star running back in Green Bay, Jones now played for the enemy Minnesota Vikings, a direct rival to the Packers’ hopeful success.
Fortunately, it seems both sides never harbored much animosity in the first place.
In a video from NFL Network’s Stacey Dales, Jones is seen greeting and saying goodbye to so many Packers employees and fans long after the Vikings beat Green Bay 31-29 on Sunday. It was a beautiful display of camaraderie and appreciation of the impact one person can make on a sports organization.
We frankly don’t see this enough in pro sports of any kind:
Wanna know what kind of an impact a player can have on a franchise? Watch this. Aaron Jones, special human, special player. And watch until the end! #LambeauLeap @Showtyme_33 pic.twitter.com/Y3vMDsB9OW

Kudos to Jones for being a class act and remembering where he came from. Kudos to all these Packers employees and fans for understanding how much Jones gave them over the years and showing it in an appropriate manner. Even if he plays on the “other side” now.
This is what it’s all about.
