GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will be keeping his late father closer to his heart.
Packers equipment manager Gordon “Red” Batty created a pocket inside his jersey that can hold the ashes of Alvin Jones without them falling out, ESPN reported.
“He put a pocket right on the left side,” Aaron Jones told reporters, pointing to his heart. “So I can just drop it in there and not have to worry about it falling out. So I can play with it.”
Aaron Jones had been wearing a medallion with his father’s ashes.
