Jamal Adams has redefined the limits of what an NFL safety can do as a pass rusher. After setting a new record for the position with 18 pressures in 2018 (since the stat was first tracked in 2006), Adams came out and clobbered that record with 23 pressures in 2019 – even while missing two games.
Of the 352 players (at any position) with at least 50 pass rush snaps in 2019, nobody created pressure at a higher rate than Adams (25.6%), who picked up his 23 pressures over just 90 opportunities.
What makes Adams so special in this phase is that he has legitimate rushing skills.
