The Green Bay Packers have some of the most passionate fans and players to ever be apart of the NFL. That has been on full display year after year.
That was no different when one Packers legend paid tribute to his friend who passed away this week.
Green Bay Packers Legend Donald Driver Pays Tribute To Friend He Lost

Ravens, Texans and NFL officials confirmed Sunday that Jacoby Jones, who scored two touchdowns in Super Bowl XLVII for the Baltimore Ravens, died at the age of 40.
CNN reported that Jones’ family informed the Texans of the news on Sunday morning.
The cause of death has not been disclosed.
“We are completely heartbroken to learn about the passing of Jacoby Jones,” the Ravens organization said in a statement. “Jacoby had the unique ability to connect with everyone he encountered. His charisma, joy and love created a one-of-a-kind presence that could light up any room or brighten any dark day.”
The Texans said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jacoby Jones. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.”
In response to learning that Jones lost his life, Packers legend Donald Driver took to Twitter (X) to pay his respects:
JJ was a great friend, brother, and teammate on official dancing with the stars. H-Town you will be missed bro. I know you are dancing in heaven. Love you. #RIPJJones
According to Kevin Dotson of CNN:
Jones was a nine-year NFL veteran, playing with the Texans, Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers and the then San Diego Chargers – now the Los Angeles Chargers.
“The NFL is heartbroken to hear of the passing of Super Bowl champion Jacoby Jones,” the league said in a post on social media. “Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.”
This biggest moments of his professional career came in the 2012 postseason.
In the AFC Divisional Round, Jones caught the “Mile High Miracle,” a 70-yard touchdown pass late in the 4th quarter to force the game into overtime, where the Ravens would prevail over the Denver Broncos 38-35.
Then in Super Bowl XLVII, Jones hauled in a 56-yard touchdown pass and had a 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown – still the longest play in Super Bowl history – as the Ravens bested the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Jones remains the only player to have a receiving touchdown and kickoff return touchdown in the same Super Bowl.
