Adam “Pac-Man” Jones revealed in a recent interview that he managed to win an NFL drug test while playing in Bengal and other teams' leagues.
Jones admitted at Dion Sanders' Chubi show that “we got the time for today” and that he “cheated” the league's drug program. He said his way is “really good.”
“People don't know how smart I am, but now I can say it now. I won't play any more, but like I've never used my p for the AP. Never. Never,” he said.
Sanders said there was no way for players to escape what Jones explained.
“They're going with you now, so why can't do that,” the Colorado Buffaloes head coach said. “No, no. They'll go there and see you pull out.”
Jones tried to make explicit details about how players could avoid drug testing, but he was closed.
The previous defensive back was the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft. He played for Bengal, the Tennessee Titans, the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos from 2005 to 2018. He missed two full seasons of his career.
The NFL had a strict marijuana policy that year, but that has since been eased.
Pro Football Hall of Fame champion Bailey told Fox News Digital in January that NFL players who used marijuana during his playing career knew that the test had occurred and suggested they stopped using the drug before testing.
“It was very tough back then, but I didn't say they wanted to catch you. Similarly, we always quit at certain times because we knew when the test would come. That's what I'm finding is damaging to my recovery, as even then, was the offseason when we had to quit, when it was the offseason of taking these annual tests,” he said.
“This is one of those times when you're working harder than you're working during the season. You could remember that we're always talking about when we had to quit. Some people get tested faster than others, so people were back on it and others were still waiting. It was a conversation topic to figure out how to navigate it, but we were all stuck together – what we were using – and we all made sure we all got through it.
“Some people passed, others did it. We all had experience with the league's drug program. But for better or worse, it was a waste of time. When you look back on it, the league has realized that they're wasting a lot of resources on something that could actually benefit us. Things have changed over time, and I'm proud that they're giving me the courage to talk to me more as they're starting to turn the page about the meaning of using cannabis.”
