FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye have been dreaming about making game-changing plays in the same secondary for a few years.
They’ll finally get that opportunity in the NFL as rookies with the New York Jets, who drafted the two hard-hitting safeties with their first two picks last week.
“I love it,” Adams said Friday on the first day of rookie minicamp. “Me and Marcus, we’ve always been close. We always wanted to play with each other.”
It nearly happened at the University of Florida, when Adams hit it off with Maye when he visited the campus in Gainesville.
