The New York Jets got their first look at their 2017 NFL Draft picks this weekend, as the team held its annual rookie minicamp.
The Jets’ draft haul this year was filled with SEC players, including LSU S Jamal Adams, Florida S Marcus Maye and Alabama WR ArDarius Stewart.
According to NJ.com reporter Connor Hughes, Adams has been the standout star of the camp, showing the talent that made him a top-10 pick:
It was near impossible to watch rookie minicamp and not notice safety Jamal Adams. He was the best player on the field — and it wasn’t close — whenever he was on the field. He made a tremendous play on a pass to tight end Jordan Leggett on Friday.
Leggett broke towards the sideline. Once Adams saw Leggett commit, he fired and broke underneath the route to bat the pass away. It was very impressive.
Adams’ speed particularly stood out. He’s unbelievably fast for a safety. The Jets could have a good one on their hands.
Of course, since it’s just a rookie camp, Adams should be impressive, as he is the highest-selected player involved.
Competing against lower draft picks and undrafted free agents, Adams has managed to hold his own, though, which is an encouraging sign for the Jets.
