Former NFL star cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, who wasn't exactly known to be shy with making candid statements over the course of his 12-year career, made a recent appearance Deion Sanders' weekly show We Got Time Today.
Since Jones has been retired for several years now, playing his last season in 2018 for the Denver Broncos, he decided there was probably no harm in sharing how he was able to avoid failing drug tests in order to abide by the NFL's substance abuse policy.
"I cheated the program," Jones told Sanders. "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," Jones continued. "But like, I've never used my (urine) for a (urine) test. Not one time. Not one time."
Given Jones' noted use of marijuana, using someone else's urine to pass a drug test was probably something he likely needed to do on a regular basis for well over a decade.
But after Sanders attempted to declare that such a thing "can't happen today" due to the NFL making it more difficult to pull off such a stunt, Jones disagreed.
"It can happen if you know what you're doing," Jones replied. "Don't say it can't happen, pop. Hey pop, don't say it can't happen."
Sanders again pushed back by expanding on his initial counter, saying: "The reason it can't [happen now] because they go in there [the bathroom] with you right now ... They go in there and watch you pull out."
With what sounds like test stipulations that would seem downright impossible to fake based on the descriptive words from Sanders, the 41-year-old Jones simply did not waver on his stance.
"You still can get 'em," the former All-Pro said.
Now, as for how you can "still get 'em," it seems as though perhaps only Jones may know the answer as to how to do such a thing.
On a related note, in early December of this past year, the NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to loosen drug policies, with a notable change being the level of THC required to trigger a positive cannabis test increasing from 150 nanograms per milliliter to 350.
