Packers running back Aaron Jones returned to the Sun City and UTEP this past weekend.

With only one week off from a busy 17-week NFL season, Aaron Jones decided to spend it in El Paso, the city that saw him grow as a player.

The former Burges Mustang and all-time leading rusher in UTEP football history, was picked in the 2017 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round as the 182nd overall pick.

Jones’ first stop back in the Sun City was at Andress High School to support Burges in a battle of two undefeated district 1-5A teams.
