Safety Jamal Adams is another prospect from the LSU Tigers in a deep class of defensive talent. He was three-year starter for LSU before entering his name early in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Adams started in every game in 2015 and 2016, two in his freshman season. He earned All-American and All-SEC honors this past season for his stellar play on an underrated secondary.

Adams tallied 76 total tackles (42 solo, 34 assisted), 7.5 tackles for loss, 4 pass breakups, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2016. He recorded four interceptions back in 2015.

Adams is a hard-hitting safety with a nose for the football. NFL teams would love to have his impact potential in their secondary. In the SEC, he proved he can anchor a college level defense but he’ll have to turn things up a notch at the pro level. He’s currently projected to be a first round pick.
