Newly-minted Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones had his introductory press conference with the team and left a lot of Vikings fans scratching their heads.
The former Green Bay Packers star showed up to the conference wearing a nice chain and a gold-tinted sunglasses. At the end of the press conference, Jones did his best “SKOL” celebration, clapping his hands in the air like the team does on gameday.
What a walkoff.

Vikings fans seemed a bit mixed on whether or not that SKOL from Jones was awesome or awful.
“Aaron Jones is like that person who’s only dating you because they know it will piss off their ex,” one Vikings fan wrote.
“Okay I am completely obsessed with him #SKOL,” wrote another.
“This caught me by surprise,” ESPN Vikings insider Kevin Seifert admitted.Â
Naturally, Packers fans weighed in as well.
“I hate this,” 2023 NFL Fan of the Year Tom Grossi replied.
“It’s a long list of Packers who went on a revenge tour through Minnesota but I can’t recall any going this hard. The most divorced behavior of all time,” another fan wrote.
Jones played seven seasons with the Packers, during which he led the NFL in touchdowns in 2019 and made the Pro Bowl in 2020. He’s had six straight seasons with over 800 yards from scrimmage and had over 1,100 yards from scrimmage in each year between 2019 and 2022.
Jones was also a very versatile back, regularly making big plays from the backfield.Â
The Packers will certainly miss him.
