El Paso's Aaron Jones makes appearance at UTEP/NMSU men's basketball game

El Paso native and current NFL running back Aaron Jones made an appearance at the Don Haskins Center on Tuesday night as New Mexico State and UTEP met in a men's college basketball game.

Jones entered the arena about five minutes into the game wearing a Texas Western jersey.

Jones is in his third season with the Green Bay Packers and is home for a few days this week as the Packers are enjoying an off week. Green Bay is 8-2 on the season and Jones, who played at Burges High School and UTEP, has played a key part.
