Who Were The 5 Players Drafted Before Jamal Adams? Where Are They Now?

Jamal Adams has only been in the league for three years, but his presence has been widely felt. Similar to his time at LSU, when he possessed extreme leadership on and off the field. The natural-born leader has been named the Jets’ team MVP twice and made the Pro Bowl twice. Additionally, he has already been recognized for his play, being named an All-Pro twice. Despite his success, Adams wasn’t taken until the sixth pick at the 2017 NFL Draft by the Jets.

Y’all forget this. Jamal Adams was actually a surprise pick come draft night no jets fans and most mock drafts had Adams going to a different team and having the jets take a Qb that draft. I remember that night and the nights leading up to it I was almost positive we were taking deshuan Watson or Lamar well Lamar because I was a huge fan of him in college. All in all this was very surprising but I do not regret the move the jets made at all, Adams even became my favorite nfl player at the moment p.

taking soloman thomas over adams has haunted me for the 3 years.

He’s a really good player but his sister killed her self in his second season and it set back his career back a little bit so that’s why he hasn’t been as productive so it really makes me mad when people call him a bust because 90% of the people in his shoes wouldn’t even had still been on a nfl roster

[@Rohan-lh5je]

I mean I get that but in hindsight was he really worth the #3 pick? He seems to be good as a rotational DT but when you are picked at #3 you are usually expected to be an instant high-level starter.

Been watching your channel for about a month now! Excellent content breaking down Drafts and Players!

Just wanted to suggest doing videos on players from the past that were drafted late and became HOF's! Jerry Rice my all time favorite or even John Taylor (Delaware State) same school as me! Keep up the great work Fellas and look into some old players (Terrell Davis) for example! Peace Fellas
