Adam Jones
Adam Jones had a rough go of it when he was a kid. His father lost his life to gun violence when Jones was just a kid. As a result, he was raised by his mom and grandmother and carried a lot of baggage into adulthood. The trauma of losing his father at such a young age caused him to act out and go down the wrong path as a young adult.
Jones’s bad behavior continued into adulthood and even affected his NFL career. He was suspended from the Tennessee Titans and has gotten into legal trouble more than a couple of times over the years. Despite his troubled past, Jones has tried his best to make a positive difference. He now speaks to NFL rookies about how to keep on the straight and narrow instead of letting huge windfalls of cash lead them into trouble.
