"I want to be great. I want to be great like 'Sweetness' (Walter Payton), like he was and his work ethic in the offseason. I want to be running hills and make sure that I'm making myself working hard like it's training camp but even harder."


On a personal level, Williams was also thrilled for Jones and his girlfriend, Crystal Molina, on the birth of their first child, Aaron Jones Jr. Williams, who has a 2-year-old daughter himself, said he plans on buying "his nephew" a gift (perhaps a tricycle) but already provided some advice to Jones.


"I told him to get the trampoline," Williams said. "He got the trampoline so he could start working on his balance. I'll tell you that's the key toy you need for your baby is a trampoline, get that balance going."


2. Adrian Amos grabbed another interception.


Amos keeps making plays. The Packers' sixth-year safety again stood out during practice Wednesday, intercepting Aaron Rodgers on a deep ball intended for Davante Adams during an early team period.


Amos also had a diving interception in a red-zone period during Tuesday's practice. The 27-year-old safety, now the elder statesman in the DB room with Tramon Williams still unsigned, had two picks during his first season with the Packers in 2019.


"I've had a couple good balls thrown my way and I've just capitalized," Amos said. "We're just trying to sharpen up in the back end, and there's an emphasis on getting turnovers, so I know Coach always likes to say just catch the ones that come your way."
