Adams and Turner both played for New England. Both passed away yesterday.
Yesterday, two families have lost one of their respective members: Julius Adams and Kevin Turner have passed away. A third family affected by the loss are the New England Patriots, for whom both Adams and Turner have played during their professional football career.
Julius Adams was born on April 26, 1948 in Macon, Georgia and after a four year career at Texas Southern University was drafted by the Patriots in the second round of the 1971 draft. Adams quickly became one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL and a fixture on New England's defense, a role he held for 16 seasons.
