Green Bay Packer, Wide Receiver, James Jones: From Homeless to Superbowl

James Jones, Green Bay Packer, Wide Receiver # 89

James Jones was born on March 31, 1984. He is the backup wide receiver for Donald Drinn and Gregg Jennings.  He has the most unusual story for a NFL player who has gone on to the Superbowl XLV.
He grew up in San Jose, California, but he did not have a home from the time of his birth until he reached his freshman year in High school.  His grandmother gets the credit for bringing him up during his High school years.  He had gone onto San Jose State University in California before being drafted to the NFL.  He has not forgotten his roots and gives back to the homeless shelters.
