Suspended Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones said he’s done enough to be reinstated back to the NFL early.

“Basically, man, I’m just trying to do whatever I gotta do to rebuild my image,” he said. “It’s been a rebuilding time for me, this whole period [of his NFL suspension]. I’m just staying to myself, taking this time out to worry about things I need to do better as a person — whatever I got to do in the community, whatever I have to do to better my image and myself as a person so I can get back on the field.”

“I think I did enough. I did pretty much everything Mr. Goodell asked me to do. So, all I can do is just wait and go back to speak to him.”

Basically, man, you still don’t get it.
