Kyle Murphy Jersey White , Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called running back Aaron Jones “most athletic, fast guy with a little bit of a belly” but Jones is bringing less of a belly with him to work this year.Jones said he’s cut his body fat in half while maintaining the same weight by cleaning up his diet. Jones was “big into candy,” but stopped eating it and now feels “stronger in the legs” than he did in his first two seasons.The boost in strength comes as Jones prepares for his first season in head coach Matt LaFleur’s offense. Jones believes the team will “rely on the run” more than they did while dropping back to pass over 71 percent of the time last year and thinks he’s a good fit for what LaFleur wants to do.“I feel like I am

Aaron Rodgers said he wanted to keep playing despite the Packers being out of the playoffs because he didn’t feel the last two games were meaningless.The Packers aren’t playing like winning means all that much to them on Sunday, however. The Jets have put together three long drives in the first half of Sunday’s game and MetLife Stadium and they’ve reached the end zone at the end of two of them to take a 14-0 lead in the second quarter.Sam Darnold threw a touchdown to Robby Anderson for the second score and the rookie is 12-of-14 for 180 yards in the early going. That comes after a strong performance against the Texans in a losing effort last weekend and the Jets can take some solace from his development at the end of a losing season.Rodgers is 4-of-6 for 29 yards and he’s been sacked twice as the Packers have gotten nothing going on offense to balance the good effort from the Jets.
