MVP of the Month — Jamal Adams

All pro safety Jamal Adams is the best in the game at what he does. His relentless pursuit of the man with the ball is second to none. He has been a crucial element in the process of reshaping this Seattle defense from worse to first. The addition of Adams and Dunlap has really helped this Seattle team create more pressure on opposing offenses.

Against the New York Jets in Week 14, Jamal Adams sacked his former teammate Sam Darnold, and broke an NFL record for most sacks by a defensive back in a single season. He followed that up with an incredible sack of Washington’s quarterback, Dwayne Haskins. He displayed his sideline-to-sideline speed while doing so.

One of my favorite plays of the season by Jamal. Once he breaks on the ball, you better pray you get to the sideline first. Week after week, dealing with injuries, Adams still shows up and shows out. His energy is contagious and I truly believe he and Pete Carroll were a match made in heaven. For years, this Seattle defense has been led by LB Bobby Wagner, who is more of a reserved leader. Adams came into this organization willing to learn, but more importantly, he came to this organization with a chip on his shoulder.

He possesses a unique swagger. After nearly every play he makes, he will look to the opposing sideline and let them know that he is going to be there all night long. He is like the energizer bunny, he just keeps going and going. Adams had a great month of December as this Seattle team propelled into one of the best in the league. This past week against the Rams, Adams made a touchdown-saving play that ended up being a potential game-saving play.

Up 13-6, Henderson had a clear view of the end zone to help his team tie the game. But, Jamal Adams wasn’t having it. He gave maximum effort on this play, stopping Henderson short of the pylon. The Rams then ran four straight rushing plays and were denied four straight times. This play was reminiscent of the one D.K. Metcalf had on his chase down of Budda Baker. A championship-style play that inspires, motivates and sets an example for the rest of the team.

Next. Jamal Adams: Great and still misunderstood. dark

Jamal Adams finished the month of December with 3 sacks, 23 solo tackles, 3 tackles for loss and 2 pass deflections. He is a man of many talents.
