Jamal Adams still brings heat: LSU legend, elite tone-setter, injury question mark
Jamal Adams is a former LSU standout, not an active Tiger; at LSU from 2014-16 he became one of the program’s best defensive backs, finishing with 209 tackles and 17.5 tackles for loss and earning First-Team All-American honors in 2016. His calling card was violent run support, downhill range, and contagious intensity — the kind of “dude” who can change a locker room. The caution flag is durability: his pro career has been repeatedly interrupted by injuries, and in 2026 he was placed on injured reserve after a knee injury, so any team betting on him is buying upside with real risk.
