Jones says he
will work with rookies
After Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones spoke at the rookie
symposium, he said he doesn’t think it will be the last time he gives
advice to young NFL players.
Bengals.com reports that Jones and some of the rookies in attendance
traded phone numbers, and that Jones is willing to talk to any player
in the league who wants his help.
“There are privacy reasons I don’t want to say who I talked to,” Jones
said. “But there were some guys that were asking me about situations
and how I would react now. Yeah, some guys have my number and if I can
help, I will.”
Jones, who has led the league in off-field problems during his NFL
career, may seem like a strange choice for a mentoring role. But one
rookie teammate, receiver Mohamad Sanu, said Jones has already been
helpful to him at practice and was helpful again at the rookie
symposium.
“I love to learn from him. Ask him questions about routes and
technique. He’s really helped me,” Sanu said. “We didn’t see him in the
locker room [Thursday], so he wasn’t joking around. He was serious. He
gave a lot of insight. He was trying to make us understand that he
didn’t want us to do what he did.”
If Jones can convince other rookies not to do what he did, the NFL will
be grateful.
