Cheese Curds, 5/17: Packers RB Aaron Jones is poised to break out as a receiver

Even if he remains healthy all season, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones might not hit 1,000 yards rushing in 2019. That is not a criticism of him, but rather an acknowledgement that the Packers have several talented running backs who will likely share the load on the ground.

However, Jones has a particularly good opportunity to have a breakout season as a receiver this fall. He has shown all the skills and route-running necessary for that in the past, both at UTEP and in glimpses while wearing green and gold.
