Coach Butch Jones and his staff welcomed another guest speaker to Knoxville as NFL defensive back Adam “Pacman” Jones spoke to Team 118. Jones also spoke at the NFL Rookie Symposium in July 2012, asking young athletes to learn from his mistakes and learn to "pump the brakes." The West Virginia product and Atlanta native is known in the Volunteer State for off-the-field issues with spending (over $1 million in one weekend) while playing for the Tennessee Titans and later an incident at a gentlemen’s club in Las Vegas. However, Jones is more than confident he’s turned his life around and his story is foretold in attempt to keep others from winding down his once-disruptive path.
As you may have seen in Monday’s edition of Insider Report, demolition of the Stokely Athletics Center continues. Gibbs Hall is nothing more than a oil of rubble. Johnny Majors Drive, as has been the case for several weeks, is inaccessible with a chain-link fence surrounding the construction area.
Circle July 15 on the calendar. That’s the date that Jones and select players will grace the halls and rooms of The Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Ala., for SEC Media Days.
Congratulations to former Tennessee kicker Michael Palardy on his recent signing with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders.
