My Take
Aaron Jones is the underdog story I keep rooting for. Out of Savannah and UTEP, he was only a fifth-round pick, yet he turned himself into a featured NFL running back through sheer week-to-week proof. That kind of rise from a late draft slot tells me everything about his hunger; nobody handed him the job. His basketball background clearly feeds the burst and cutting ability that make him fun to watch. I have a soft spot for players who claw their way up from places that never get the spotlight, and Jones earned his on contact, carry after carry.
