Coming from humble beginnings, this is the type of retirement the Jones dreamed of while simultaneously raising a family and serving their country.

"It's funny. A lot of people think I pay for their travel"I always look in his eyes and say, 'I want to see that look, that hungry look,'". They do their own deal," Jones said. "The cool thing is my mom is actually a travel agent now. They're always working and continuing to get better. So when they have that mindset, I have that mindset."

Game days are sacred to Alvin Sr. Last year, he started going down to whichever end zone the Packers were warming up in, aiming for the first row. Afterward, Aaron would jog over to his father, hug him over the railing and receive a few encouraging words before heading to the locker room.

Alvin Sr. reminds Aaron how proud they are of him. He tells his son to play his game and do what God put him on the earth to do. He closes with a challenge – no different than when Alvin Sr. coached Aaron and Alvin Jr. in almost every sport they played as kids.

"I always look in his eyes and say, 'I want to see that look, that hungry look,'" Alvin Sr. said.

When Aaron re-watches games, it brings a smile to his face whenever the camera zooms in on his parents celebrating after a touchdown. There was one moment in Kansas City this past October when the broadcast showed Alvin Sr. tugging on the front of his white No. 33 jersey after Aaron's seven catches for 159 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-24 win over the Chiefs.

People might have thought Alvin Sr. was being braggadocios after his son's big game but that's really not his style. The truth is he was responding to a few hecklers in the stands.

"There were some fans talking trash and then I took it to the house," Aaron said. "Everybody texted me the picture of my dad. They thought he was flexing like, 'This is my son,' but it was for that reason. I thought that was pretty cool."

This past month has been a small reprieve for the Jones family. Alvin Sr. and Vurgess stayed in Green Bay for most of December thanks to back-to-back home games that were then followed by nearby road trips to Minnesota and Detroit.

Alvin Jr. was supposed to join them for the Vikings game but was called to work out in New Orleans on that same Monday. He rejoined them for last week's 28-23 playoff win over Seattle.
