Packers RB Aaron Jones surprised to learn his airport good deed went viral
Aaron Jones said he was doing what anybody else would do and had no idea his random act of kindness had been caught on camera.
So the Green Bay Packers running back was surprised when he arrived home and opened Twitter, only to see a picture of him pushing a woman in a wheelchair through the airport.
The woman was seated across the aisle from Jones on a flight from Chicago to Appleton, Wisconsin. Jones was on his way back from his Memorial Day weekend holiday in his hometown of El Paso, Texas. He fell asleep with his headphones on during the short flight; when the plane landed, he awoke to see the woman struggling with her cane and bags.
"I was like, 'Do you need help?'" Jones said Thursday. "And she said yes, so I started carrying her bags and when we were walking off the plane, the flight attendant told her that there would be somebody there to push her with a wheelchair."
There were wheelchairs there, but no one to push them, Jones said.
"So I asked if she wanted me to push her and she said yes," Jones said. "I pushed her down to where her daughter was. As we got halfway down there, I had a bag tag on and she asked, 'Are you a Packers player?' I said, 'Yes, ma'am, I am.' And she was like, 'My husband would've loved this.' You could tell she got excited, and it made me happy. But I didn't know anybody had taken a picture until I got home and got on Twitter."
