Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive back and kick returner Adam "Pacman" Jones said during a recent FOX Sports podcast that he officially adopted former West Virginia University teammate Chris Henry's sons - Chris Jr. and DeMarcus - earlier this year.
Jones provided details on Shannon Sharpe's podcast, Club Shay Shay:
Jones and Henry were WVU teammates in 2003 and 2004. Jones joined the Bengals in May 2010, about six months after Henry died after falling out of the back of a pickup truck in North Carolina. Scientists at the Brain Injury Research Institute - a research center affiliated with WVU - had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) -- a form of degenerative brain damage caused by multiple hits to the head -- at the time of his death.
Henry spent his entire five-season NFL career with the Bengals from 2005 to 2009. Jones played for the Bengals for parts of eight seasons from 2010 to 2017.
"We love each other hard. We cry together, we pray together. We do everything together over here," Jones said on the podcast, adding that both of Henry's sons are "unbelievable athletes."
