Adam Jones, also known as "Pacman," is a former American football cornerback and return specialist. He began his football career at West Virginia University, where he played for two seasons before being drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
Jones quickly made a name for himself as a dynamic return specialist, earning Pro Bowl honors in his rookie season. He also showed promise as a cornerback, starting 12 games in his second season and recording four interceptions.
However, Jones' career was marred by off-field issues, including multiple arrests and suspensions for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. He missed the entire 2007 season due to suspension and was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in 2008.
In Dallas, Jones continued to struggle with off-field issues and injuries, playing in just nine games over two seasons. He was released by the Cowboys in 2009 and signed with the Cincinnati Bengals.
With the Bengals, Jones found a new level of success on the field, becoming a key contributor on defense and special teams. He earned Pro Bowl honors again in 2014 and helped lead the Bengals to the playoffs in five consecutive seasons.
Jones' career came to an end in 2018, when he was released by the Bengals and subsequently announced his retirement from football. Despite his off-field troubles, Jones will be remembered as a talented and dynamic player who made a significant impact on the field.
