With this exemplary record, he committed to play college football at Louisiana State University (LSU) and was rated a five-star recruit by scouts.

Unfortunately, he also had a habit of flopping even on the slightest of touches, earning a penalty for his team but also incurring the ire of fans.

Adams played in 13 games his first year, recording 66 tackles and one sack, and was selected to the All-Southeastern Conference second team in his sophomore year.

Getting selected by the New York Jets

He decided to forgo his senior season and enter the 2017 NFL Draft in the hope of getting the attention of a big-name team.

After being invited to the NFL Combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in an impressive 4.33 seconds, catching the attention of the professionals present.

Jamal was projected to be a first-round pick and was ranked as the top safety in the draft by various analysts and scouts.

The New York Jets were so impressed that they selected him sixth in the first round in the 2017 NFL Draft.

At the beginning of the 2017 season, Adams signed a fully guaranteed four-year, $22.25 million contract with the New York Jets.

He also received a signing bonus of $14.32 million, ensuring he would start his football career with a huge asset.

Adams did not disappoint his team, and coach Todd Bowles selected Adams as the starting strong safety with Marcus Maye as the free safety.

Jamal had fulfilled his childhood dream of playing for one of the richest NFL teams in the league — now, all he had to do was perform well.

Adam’s professional debut

Adams played his first NFL game against the Buffalo Bills, making five combined tackles and deflecting a pass, but was beaten hard, 21–12.

He had reached the pinnacle of the game, playing for a team that included players like Darrelle Revis and Joe Flacco.

Against the Miami Dolphins, Jamaal recorded two solo tackles, broke up a pass, and made his first career sack on quarterback Jay Cutler.

His game against the New England Patriots was also an outstanding effort, finishing with 10 combined tackles and a pass deflection in a disappointing 26–6 loss.

2019 was a tumultuous year for Jamal. He was fined for a late hit and, unbeknownst to him, was considered for a trade.

In any case, he has let it be known that he is happy to be with the Jets and that he is having a great year, putting together some excellent performances.

He recorded nine tackles in week ten against the New York Giants (a team record), and sacked Daniel Jones twice during the game.

First of Many Awards

The Jets won the hard-fought game 34–27, and Jamal was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his outstanding performance.

Unfortunately, Adams was injured during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, hurting his ankle early in the game.

Due to the injury, he was out of action for the next two weeks, but returned in good form, helping the Jets defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 16–10.

Jamal concluded the season by being named to his second consecutive Pro Bowl and ensuring the first first-team AP selection of his career.

He was also awarded the Curtis Martin Team MVP for the second consecutive year, capping off a dramatic season.

Sold to the Seattle Seahawks

Despite the coaching staff wanting to keep Jamal in the team, he was unhappy with the way he was treated and wanted a change.

Hence, in 2020, he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks, and he made his debut for the team in a 38-25 win against the Atlanta Falcons.

In a game against the Dallas Cowboys, Jamal was injured again, injuring his back which kept him out for six weeks.

He had a fantastic game against the Buffalo Bills, recording 1.5 sacks on Josh Allen in a 44-34 loss.

Adams and teammate Quandre Diggs were named to their third straight Pro Bowl on December 21, 2020, making them the first safety duo to be named to that since 2015.
