Packers only needed one preseason game to find their next Aaron Jones

One opportunity can change everything. As Green Bay Packers undrafted rookie Amar Johnson broke a tackle and accelerated toward the end zone on a 39-yard touchdown run, it was hard not to think of Aaron Jones.

Johnson delivered one of the few highlight-reel moments for the Packers in a dismal evening under the Lambeau Field lights. His standout performance showed off some parallels between his game and that of the former Packers Pro Bowler as he turned seven carries into 67 yards and a touchdown.

Vision. Acceleration. Speed. Balance. Home-run ability. Sound familiar?

It's only the preseason, a time of year known for overreactions, but Johnson looked the part and deserves more opportunities.
