According to the deal, Jones also acquired a stake in FTX and the NFL player\u2019s \u201ccompensation will be paid in cryptocurrency.\u201d Jones was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft after leaving the University of Texas, El Paso.

\u201cI plan to invest a portion of my future marketing earnings in cryptocurrency and other blockchain-related assets through the FTX US exchange,\u201d Jones said on Tuesday. The Green Bay Packers running back added:<\/p>\n

Additionally, my brother and I are excited to become shareholders in FTX through Showtyme Ventures, LLC \u2013 my family\u2019s investing vehicle dedicated to investing in legendary entrepreneurs who are unapologetically changing the world, putting as equal an emphasis on making an impact as they do shareholder returns. My brother and I are excited to have FTX represent our first venture investment.<\/p>\n

A large number of NFL players and teams have been getting into blockchain and crypto over the last two years including players Trevor Lawrence<\/a>, Russell Okung<\/a>, Patrick Mahomes, and Rob \u201cGronk\u201d Gronkowski.<\/p>\n

The company Grayscale Investments partnered<\/a> with NFL team the New York Giants in the first week of May. In mid-June, the New York Giants\u2019 Saquon Barkley said he planned to convert<\/a> his endorsement revenue into bitcoin. Green Bay\u2019s Aaron Jones says he plans to have his charity A&A All the Way (www.aaalltheway.org<\/a>) integrate FTX Pay so donations can be made with crypto assets. The charity is aimed at \u201cmaking an impact in the lives of our nation\u2019s youth through charitable giving and action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brett Harrison, president of FTX US, said that the Green Bay Packers running back shares the same ideals as the company. \u201cWhen we first met with Aaron, it was clear that he shared the same values FTX has been founded on \u2013 to leave a lasting positive impact on the world.
