Green Bay Packers' Aaron Jones graduated from UTEP and Twitter went crazy

Once again, there was nothing but daylight in front of Aaron Jones.

UTEP's all-time leading rusher and one of its most recent graduates took two big steps to loud cheers, grabbed the handoff of his diploma, and continued untouched to the middle of the stage at the Don Haskins Center. There he turned, faced the crowd and opened his gown to reveal his No. 33 Green Bay Packers jersey.

"It feels amazing, this is something no one can take from me," Jones said after Saturday's graduation ceremony that completed a journey he began in the summer of 2013.
