RIP "Pacman" Jones

Unfortunately it has been reported by Adam Schefter that Adam "Pacman" Jones doesn't want to be known as Pacman any more and will publicly request to the media later this week to just be known as Adam Jones. It is a smart move on his part as it will distance himself from his troubled past. But for all of his fans, it's time to look back and reflect on what was. Before he was suspended by the league last year, Jones was becoming one of the better young corners in the league. During his two career seasons as "Pacman" he recorded 115 tackles, 4 interceptions and 5 touchdowns. So in honor of the occasion, I thought it would be fitting to put together my top ten all time "Pacman" Jones moments.


1. "Making it Rain": To the majority of NFL fans, this is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about him so it's only fitting to put as number one on the list.

2. Draft Day: When Pacman got drafted, they briefly showed him and the party going on. Let's just say that ESPN never went back to see it again.

3. Interception return for a touchdown against the Jaguars: This was Pacman's first interception return for a touchdown. Plays like this show why he could be a special player.

4. Sliding down the goalpost: This was Pacman's signature end zone dance which he did after every touchdown. As far as end zone celebrations go, this is one of my personal favorites.

5. The Posterboyz: When Pacman signed a deal to start rapping, this was the duo he was half of. The first single was called "Let it Shine" where they surprisingly talk about fast cars, jewelry and excessive amounts of money. The song actually isn't that bad and until Pacman says his name, you can't tell that it's him rapping.

6. TNA: Pacman didn't even really have a real wrestling match on TNA, but the Pacman shirt he wore for his introduction made it all worth while.

7. Punt Return for a touchdown against the Eagles: Pacman on this play showed why he is one of the best return men in the league as he showed everything you would want in a punt returner. He showed great speed and cut back ability on the 90 yard return.

8. Feeding the Children: Most people didn't notice but Pacman actually took the time during is suspension to help feed the needy. It was the kindest moment in Pacman history.

9. Punt return for a touchdown against the Texans: This was another great return for Pacman as he ran backwards and still got the touchdown. When playing, he is a pro bowl caliber return man.

10. The mug shots: Over the course of time, Pacman has had his fair share of mugshots. They are all memorable but in my mind the best one is after his triple shooting incident.


So we have reached the end of Pacman in the NFL but as Adam, he is sure to add many more memorable moments to the list. You will be missed Pacman.
