Jones posted a video on Instagram of his proud moment. Of course, he was repping his Packers' jersey.

When I decided I was gonna leave college a year early I promised my parents I would go back and get my degree.... I did it 🙏🏾This is something no one can ever take from me!! This is such a BLESSING and THANK YOU to every one who supported me❗️🎓🍾🧀

Jones kept his promise to his family and received his diploma on the stage of the Don Haskins Center.

The El Paso Times reported that Jones said "This is the top (highlight of his life) right here. I worked four years for this day."

The Packers have a lot to be proud of.
