Former LSU safety Jamal Adams has garnered plenty of pre-draft hype in recent months. Add NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks to the long list of admirers.
While many have pegged former Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett as the top prospect in the upcoming draft, Brooks believes that it’s actually Adams.
Brooks wrote recently, “It’s easier to hold that belief following Adams’ spectacular Pro Day workout where he clocked times reportedly in the 4.38 range, but I’ve long believed the charismatic safety is poised to make the biggest impact of any prospect in the draft.
“Checking in at 6-foot, 214 pounds with exceptional instincts, awareness and tackling skills, Adams is a new-school safety with a classic game that’s plucked straight from the 1980s when Ronnie Lott, Kenny Easley and others lurked between the hashes as menacing enforcers for their respective squads.
