Jamal Adams 2020 Outlook: Top Defensive Back With Unique Skill Set At Safety
5 years agoJamal Adams, the sixth overall pick in 2017, wants to be the league's highest-paid safety before the 2020 season begins. Adams has a strong case, as he's recorded 273 tackles (210 solo), 12 sacks, 28 tackles for loss, 23 QB hits, 25 passes defensed, six forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries (one for a TD) in his three seasons. He's missed just two games, has made the Pro Bowl the last two years and also garnered a first-team All-Pro nod in 2019. The knock on the 24-year-old is that he has only two interceptions, but Adams makes up for it with his physicality coming up to stop the run and his game-changing skills rushing the passer. He finished fourth in IDP points among safeties last year and should be the consensus No. 1 defensive back to come off the board in IDP drafts this fall, whether he's still in New York or playing elsewhere.
