As the 2017 NFL regular season slowly approaches, all eyes are turning to the battle at free safety. Darian Thompson holds the early advantage in the hearts and minds of New York Giants fans, but Andrew Adams is maintaining a solid pace.
Although unheralded as a rookie, Adams is finally receiving the respect he deserves for what was a special first season.
As an undrafted free agent who began his career on the practice squad, Adams wasn’t expected to make a significant impact in 2016. Over the course of his rookie season, however, he proved to be of significant value to the 11-win Giants.
