Really one of my favorite players. Never made excuses when some people were trashing him for dropped passes in 2010, while ignoring the fact he was having a pretty good year. 2 years later he led the NFL in TD receptions. Very classy guy who made the most of his abilities.
And came from such humble beginnings...
DREAM CATCHER PACKERS' THIRD-ROUND SELECTION JAMES JONES SURVIVED A FAR FROM FIRST-CLASS UPBRINGING.
"I felt bad. But I didn't have anywhere else to go," Janet says. "In the beginning, it was drugs. Then, I lost my job. Nobody wanted to help us, so that's how we had to live. I thank God for shelters, because they're really something that a person who don't have nowhere to go, they can call home. But it's not a place I wanted to be."

And she wasn't the person she wanted to be. She remembers James finding her one day, passed out after a binge. James remembers, too.
