Packers Sign ‘The Mayor’ of Starkville

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers already employ the unofficial mayor of Door County, running back AJ Dillon.

Now, they employ the unofficial mayor of Starkville, Miss.

The Packers on Monday filled out their offseason roster by signing outside linebacker Kobe Jones, one of the 18 tryout players from last weekend’s rookie minicamp.

Jones started 11 games as a senior at Mississippi State in 2020 and recorded two sacks and four tackles among his 32 total tackles. He went undrafted last year and battled in training camp with the Atlanta Falcons. He failed to make their roster, then spent two weeks on the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad in November.
