S. LSU. Jamal Adams. 11. player. 26.

The Baltimore Ravens made a big splash this past offseason, signing safety Eric Weddle away from the San Diego Chargers. The deal was for four years, and it ensured that the Ravens would be solid at one of the safety positions for the foreseeable future. Adding a player of Jamal Adams caliber to the secondary would give Baltimore a feared set of safeties in their secondary.

When the Ravens are good, it is because of their defense. If you look back on the last 15 years, the defense has been led by Hall of Fame-caliber players. Whether it is Ray Lewis, or Terrell Suggs, hard-hitting defensive stars have been the reoccurring theme for the Ravens. Adams is one of those safeties who brings the thunder, and he would fit right in with the culture in Baltimore.

Adams was second-team All-SEC last season, after being named a Freshman All-American back in 2014. His father, George Adams, was a first round selection of the New York Giants back in 1985. The 21-year old has football in his blood, and his drive and work ethic will make him a favorite to the fans, and to head coach John Harbaugh.
