"I cheated the program" - Adam 'Pacman' Jones makes eyebrow-raising revelation to Deion Sanders on taking drug tests

Former NFL cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones has made a stunning revelation on taking drug tests to Colorado coach Deion Sanders. The former first-round pick spilled the beans on how he concealed his marijuana use during his playing days to avoid getting caught under the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

Jones made his eye-opening revelation during an appearance on Deion Sanders' "We Got Time Today," weekly show on Tubi.

"I cheated the program." Jones said. "Like, I was really good. People don’t know how smart I am, but like, I can say it now. I don’t play no more. But like, I’ve never used my (urine) for a (urine) test. Not one time."

Sanders then pointed out that Jones' cunning ploy to deceive the NFL's sample collectors would not work in the current scheme of things because they are in the room with the player while they provide their urine sample. However, Jones disagreed.

“It can happen if you know what you’re doing,” Jones said. “Don’t say it can’t happen, pop. Hey pop, don’t say it can’t happen.”

Jones was prepared to elaborate on his methods to sneak past the NFL's drug testing methods, but Sanders interjected and stopped him.
