The Packers selected Jones in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 182nd overall.
Jones (5-foot-9, 208 pounds) is an underrated prospect who was one of the best running backs in college football over the last four years, finishing his UTEP career with 4,114 yards (6.3 YPC) and 33 touchdowns in 35 games while adding 71 receptions for 646 yards and seven touchdowns. Quick and explosive, Jones' skill as a receiver is among the best at his position in this class. It would not surprise if he has a more successful career than fellow Green Bay running back pick Jamaal Williams, who went in the fourth round.
