James Jones wears a hoodie under jersey, calls it 'Cali swag, man'
Packers wide receiver James Jones explained why he wore a sweatshirt during Sunday's game.
It was cold in Minnesota on Sunday. If you watched the Packers beat the Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium, you might've noticed most of the players sporting sleeves underneath their uniforms.
Then, there was James Jones. It's safe to assume you noticed what he was wearing.
Jones didn't bother with typical coldgear. The Packers' wide receiver wasn't messing around. Instead of donning something slim, Jones wore an actual sweatshirt under his jersey.
After the game, he explained.
"It's green, it's the right uniform colors and it's just Cali swag, man, to keep me warm," Jones said, via NFL.com. "It's short sleeve, so hopefully I started something good, keep me warm."

The Cali swag worked. The sweatshirt-wearing Jones tore apart the Vikings secondary, catching six passes for 109 yards, a touchdown, and a two-point conversion. While the touchdown required a remarkable throw by Aaron Rodgers, Jones' toe-drag in the end zone shouldn't be overlooked.

Jones might want to rock the sweatshirt more often. Prior to Sunday, Jones had gone five straight games with no more than two catches, totaling just seven receptions in that span.
On Thanksgiving, the Packers host the Bears at Lambeau Field. As of Monday afternoon, the weather report lists rain and a low of 29 degrees. The rain might be a problem, as it could make the sweatshirt heavier than usual. Jones already isn't known for his wheels, so we'll see if he's willing to sacrifice some precious speed for "Cali swag."
