Love has a dependable veteran presence in running back Aaron Jones, who is entering his seventh NFL season. Jones has made notable moves as Packers running backs coach Ben Sirmans watches during the team’s recent practice sessions.
“We’re flying through drills, having those guys go full speed and (Steven Jackson’s) like, ‘Oh wait a minute now, I’ve been in this league for a while, I don’t have the same legs as these young bucks,'” Sirmans said this week, comparing working with Jackson later in the RB’s career to monitoring Jones in Year 7. “So, sometimes I got to try to be a little bit conscious of that, but it really hasn’t affected him. He’s still going as fast and hard as anybody out there. I just try from a physical standpoint; I try to be more conscious of that. That, you know, he’s going into his seventh year. But it hasn’t really, he hasn’t missed a beat. He’s flying around faster than anybody in that room.”
