Former Holy Cross LB Dan Adams Stands Up to NFL's "Pacman" Jones
This was entertaining. I stopped by L.A. Southwest College this week to spend some time on the set of “Pros vs. Joes,” the Spike TV show airing in April that pits retired NFL and NBA players against so-called everyday Joes in various football and basketball skills challenges. Actually, the Joes are pretty athletic this season, many of them former college athletes.
I watched former NFL players Rich Gannon, Priest Holmes and Adam “Pacman” Jones play in a three-on-three football game – with helmets and shoulder pads – against three no-name competitors. Although some of it was hokey (when’s the last time you saw Gannon rush the passer, or drop back into coverage?), there were a couple of big hits.
One of the better collisions was one at the goal line between Jones and a “Joe” named Dan Adams, a 5-foot-10 sales rep from Boston who played linebacker at Holy Cross. He set an NCAA single-game record with a staggering 21 solo tackles against Colgate.
