In our bowl game vs Louisville, Jamal went nearly sideline to sideline and ran down Heisman winner Lamar Jackson.

He can play deep, near the line of scrimmage, in the slot, in space, on the goal line. He can blitz, he can tackle, he's a leader, and he plays with controlled enthusiasm and brashness. He was an all-pro rookie.

natural born leader who has many similarities to HOF'er Rod Woodson

First, Jamal Adams is an extraordinary athlete, and as every Jets fan seems to already know, he is great at run support. He is a good cover guy as well, but I suspect that he's not very good in zone coverage. I say this because there was always a lack of turnovers from Jamal (though I understand he already has an interception after week 1).

Jamal Adams is the realest of deals in the passing game, closing speed, and sure tackling. Anyone who says otherwise is a butthurt Bama fan.

Probably the best all around safety to come out of LSU. True Field general with great athleticism, who demands greatness from his fellow teammates !

He has very good ball skills, and is very underrated in man coverage.

A lot of people forget he played in the slot a lot as freshmen.

But his best attribute is being able to play in space, as a sophomore in third down situations we would move him to a linebacker spot and let him read the QB and go make a play.

Hes special.

Jamal is the real deal. He is better in the box, but he's still above average in pass coverage. He'll be around for a long time so long as he stays healthy

Well you've come to the right place.

Adams is a player...plain and simple. Dude can hit, tackle and cover.

I understand what you are trying to do but it would be to just let time make your case. Let them see over time how they are wrong. Because from I have seen of Jets fans in New York you are wasting your time trying to reason with them.

LSU has had a number of great safeties in the last twenty years. Adams is the best. His ability to close fast is something I have not seen before. There are so many plays where he is there before you know it. There are a couple of plays in the Louisville game where he runs down Lamar Jackson like no ones business. Once he gets there he doesn’t miss.

As for coverage I never saw him really beat although I am sure I am mistaken here. I think he is a great cover guy as welll

Coach on the field.absolute leader

If y’all can find one better let me know . My guess is about 28 or so NFL teams would love to have him
