CINCINNATI -- On both his post-selection conference call with Cincinnati Bengals media, and during his introductory news conference at Paul Brown Stadium a day later, first-round pick William Jackson III expressed a willingness to listen to anything his new teammate, Adam Jones, told him.
"I want to get under his wing to see how he prepares and see what he did to stay in the league so long," Jackson said. "He will be a big mentor to me."
A few hours after his Cincinnati arrival, Jackson got to meet his new role model.
