Adam Jones became so emotional talking about his boss Thursday that he had to fight back tears when it came to showing appreciation for Bengals president Mike Brown’s support.
“Words can’t explain. I can’t explain. I’m just deep from my heart that I have somebody that understands me as a person and that’s not quick to judge,” said a teary Jones just before he broke from the media pack at his locker with, “See y’all.”
On the day the Bengals reported to training camp at Paul Brown Stadium, an upbeat Jones reacted to his one-game suspension handed down last week by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell with a pleasant seven-minute-media-give-and-take that has not always been the case this offseason.
