He hits like Ronnie Lott

This is extremely false. I can't remember one really big hit in the three years he was here. However, he is an extremely sure tackler, and he's fast and quick.

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

He is a playmaker. First game already has an interception. He is a disrupter and a leader. Plays the game with desire to have fun.

Jamal Adams led the team in interceptions in 2015. Adams was a ridiculous playmaker, a tackling machine, and one of the clear leaders of the team. I love the guy.

I'd be willing to bet that his greatest asset is what you don't see: his leadership. I get the impression that his competitive edge isn't fond of "half-assin" in practice or the game. If your fans don't like him, you should all email the team management and have him traded to the Saints.

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
