GREEN BAY, Wis. – Losing his father caused untold pain for Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones.

Losing some of his ashes on Lambeau Field on Monday night?

“That’s where my dad would’ve wanted me to lose it, so I know he’s smiling,” Jones said after scoring four touchdowns in a 35-17 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Alvin Jones Sr. died in April at age 57 due to complications from COVID-19, according to his hometown newspaper, The El Paso Times. Until the pandemic kept fans out of the stands last season, the elder Jones never missed his son’s games.

In his father’s place were 15 friends and family members, including his mom, brother and son.

“I’m used to turning around and seeing my dad in the stands and just smiling to know everything is OK. So, when I was seeing them, I was good,” he said.

Jones wore a necklace, a black football, that carried some of his father’s ashes. He thinks he lost the necklace on his second touchdown reception.

Aaron Jones just confirmed the necklace was found.

I do not understand athletes wearing jewelry on the field or court. I couldn't do it. I'd be worried about it falling off or stabbing me.
