If your favorite NFL team is looking for some help at the safety position this year, then you’re in luck. There are plenty of top-tier prospects at the position this year, and while LSU’s Jamal Adams isn’t my top-ranked safety, he’s still one of the more talented overall players in this class.

At 6’1” and 211 pounds, Adams can match up with just about anyone in the passing game, whether that’s a slot receiver or a tight end. He loves playing near the line of scrimmage and plugging up rushing lanes as well.

There are a couple of holes in Adams’ game, but the biggest one is making tackles in the open field. That can be corrected with the proper coaching, but his versatile skill set will help him make the case as a potential first-round pick.
