Pacman Jones is winning hearts of NFL fans thanks to his touching gesture involving son of late teammate Chris Henry

Adam "Pacman" Jones played in the NFL from 2005-2018. He's most notable for his time with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2010-2017. Jones had lot of off-the-field behavorial issues with the law.

One of his closest teammates was wide receiver Chris Henry, who he was teammates with at West Virginia State University for a year. Henry, like his close friend Jones, had many off-the-field issues.

Henry tragically passed away on December 17, 2009, when he was dragged from a moving truck that his fiancée was driving after a verbal altercation.

Following the death of his long-time colleague Chris Henry, Jones adopted his children, vowing to raise them as Henry would have wanted to. He's now taking his son, Chris Jr., on college visits.

Most people remember Jones as a hot head who was always getting in trouble. Now, it seems he's a changed man since adopting Henry's children.
