The Aaron Jones comparisons started from the moment undrafted rookie Amar Johnson arrived with the Green Bay Packers.
He only built on those ambitious expectations once the preseason started, rushing for 115 yards and two touchdowns at 5.2 yards per attempt. It included a special 39-yard touchdown run that displayed the acceleration, explosiveness, and tackle-breaking ability Jones made famous in Green Bay. It was the Packers' longest rush since Jones' 53-yarder two years ago.
Johnson faced an uphill battle to break into a crowded running back room, and, according to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, the Packers have waived the undrafted rookie.
