Jamal Adams: 2017 Jets lacked dedication, passion

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Second-year safety Jamal Adams lowered his shoulder and delivered a hard hit to players on last year’s team and the Jets organization.

Adams told Bleacher Report earlier this summer that some players during his rookie year “wanted to do the bare minimum” and added that “the team, the organization” weren’t willing to sacrifice or do what it took to be a winning team.

The interview was posted Tuesday, which led to a conversation between coach Todd Bowles and the passionate Adams before practice.

“He’s a very young player and a very smart player, and he speaks from his heart,” Bowles said.
