The LSU Tigers have turned things around under interim head coach Ed Orgeron over the past few games. Sure, some of that has to do with the return of Leonard Fournette, but the defense has benefitted mightily from the play of guys like Jamal Adams.

Adams is a disruptive player that can do a little bit of everything for the Tigers. The safety prospect thrives near the line of scrimmage when playing against the run, routinely making big tackles in traffic. In pass coverage, Adams continues to improve and matches up well with tight ends or receivers thanks to his 6’1”, 213-pound frame.

The biggest thing that Adams will need to work on is his open-field tackling, but everything else is there for him. He’s a proven leader with the instincts and athleticism to become a serious threat in the league.
