Hebron product Jamal Adams ready to follow in dad’s NFL footsteps

Jamal Adams has prepared for this moment since he was 3. Three?!

The LSU safety, the son of former NFL player George Adams, grew up in North Texas playing with 5-6 year olds in a flag football league run by his father.

“It started at an early age,” Adams said. “A lot of people think that football was kind of pushed my way. But I kind of played everything growing up and I kind of fell in love with the game at age 5, really. I started at age 3. He just really stressed staying focused, trusting the process, and doing what I do.
