No. 26 Adam ‘PacMan’ Jones

With a nickname like PacMan, he had to be good. Adam Jones was a great defensive player for West Virginia from 2002-2005.

He was an honorable mention All-American as a senior, with a team-leading 76 tackles as a defensive back. Jones is near the top of the program’s list of all-time kick return yards with 1,475. On punt returns, Jones averaged more than 10 yards per return.

He was the sixth overall draft pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2005. Jones also played for the Dallas Cowboys and has been active with the Cincinnati Bengals since 2010.
