anybody can turn their life around when they snitch.. that’s why people are going to continue “live that life” because they know its simple to get out of it by just throwing someone else under the bus..

Evidently rookies need to be educated on the programs available and strongly encouraged by veterans to use them in order to avoid tragedys like what happened.

Congratulations to Adam Jones. If he can be an inspiration to younger players, it would be great. His is a great story about turning one’s life around, and I hope he maintains it. Anyone can change. THEY HAVE TO WANT TO.

Good for Pacman. But damn, those were some hard years. Looking about 57 years old in that pic.

It warms my heart that Adam turned his life around AND that most people are happy and supportive of him that he turned his life around.

Good on you, Adam. Hopefully you can continue to grow into a counselor role as you get older, even after you finish playing.

And it’s good to see a 29 year old CB playing nickel at a high level.

I can’t get passed the first line of the third paragraph.

Sounds like Pac has a purpose far greater than football; and this, to change lives.

Well spoken Adam! Keep walking the line. Your a hell of a player, and , by the way it sounds an even better person! LESSON LEARNED!!

“This didn’t come overnight. It took a while to trust and believe and really just wise up that this was put here by the team to help you and not because they were trying to see what you were doing or why you were drunk or why you had this-many drinks.”

Considering the Bengals’ track record of signing players with conduct problems and rehabilitating them, I imagine they must be very good at this and other teams should take notice. You can only help these players reform if you can gain their trust by showing you’re looking out for them.

never thought these words would come out of my mouth.. but adam (pacman) jones makes a good point. how much incentive is there to use a team operated safe ride, if you are going to be grilled on what you were doing out drinking at 3 am in the morning, the friday before a game.

It’s kind of weird to say but Adam Jones is kind of a good role model for young players now. He can speak to them from experience and show them how it can turn out if you make bad decisions. Glad he has gotten his life together.

Im actually shocked this guy turned his career around. When I saw Adam Jones on the Bengals I didn’t even make the connection to Pacman, I thought it was another player all together lol
