You can add another accomplishment to Jamal Adams’ career year.
The Jets safety was named to the Pro Football Writers Associations All-NFL Team for the first time in his career. Last season, Adams was named to the PFWA All-AFC Team.

The 24-year-old safety has had a long list of teams he’s been named to this season. Along with the PFWA All-NFL Team, Adams was named a First-Team All-Pro for the first time ever and he made his second straight Pro Bowl.
Adams had another fantastic season with Gang Green in his third year out of LSU. He recorded 75 total tackles, 6.5 sacks, one interception, two touchdowns, seven pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Adams is undoubtedly the leader of this football team. He routinely finds ways to make plays and rarely comes off the field. This past season he took his play a step further, blossoming as a pass-rusher under the tutelage of Gregg Williams. There’s not many safeties who can make that sort of impact.
As the accolades pour in, the Jets will have to ponder a new deal for Adams. He’s eligible for a contract extension and his next deal is going to be a massive one. The question is, who is going to give it to him?
