Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones arrived at organized team activities (OTAs) on Thursday with a little more hype than he had expected.

A photo shared Monday night of Jones pushing a fellow traveler's wheelchair at Appleton International Airport in Wisconsin had gone viral by the time he reached the team's facility, receiving more than 18,000 likes and 3,400 retweets.

Jones said he awoke from an in-flight nap to see the lady struggling with her cane and bags, then offered to help and carry the luggage, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

When they arrived inside the airport, there was no attendant to help push the chair.

"So I asked if she wanted me to push her and she said yes," Jones said. "I pushed her down to where her daughter was. As we got halfway down there, I had a bag tag on and she asked 'Are you a Packers player?' I said 'Yes, ma'am I am.' And she was like, 'My husband would've loved this.' You could tell she got excited, and it made me happy. But I didn't know anybody had taken a picture until I got home and got on Twitter."
