“I want to be great. I want to be great like ‘Sweetness’ (Walter Payton), like he was and his work ethic in the offseason. I want to run hills and make sure I work hard like it’s training camp, but even harder. “
On a personal level, Williams was also upset for Jones and his girlfriend, Crystal Molina, over the birth of their first child, Aaron Jones Jr. Williams, who even has a 2-year-old daughter, said he plans to give “his cousin” a gift (maybe a scooter) but has already provided some advice to Jones.
“I told him to get off the trampoline,” Williams said. “He got the trampoline so he could start working on his balance. I’ll tell you that the key toy you need for your baby is a trampoline, get that balance through.”

Amos makes plays. The Packers’ sixth-year safety rebounded during practice Wednesday, interpreting Aaron Rodgers on a deep ball meant for Davante Adams in an early team period.
Amos also had an interceptive dive during a red zone period during Tuesday’s practice. The 27-year-old safety, now the senior statesman in the DB room with Tramon Williams not yet signed, had two picks in his first season with the Packers in 2019.
“I threw some good balls in my way and I just capitalized,” Amos said. “We’re just trying to sharpen up in the back end, and there’s an emphasis on getting converted, so I know Coach always likes to say that just catches those who come your way.”
