King touted the former No. 6 overall pick for being fearless on the field. As a rookie, Adams started all 16 games and finished third on the team with 83 tackles, nine for loss, two sacks, five pass defenses and one forced fumble.

The LSU product has caught more than King's eye as NFL Network's Michael Silver came to Florham Park to watch a couple of workouts and echoed similar sentiments.

"A player like Jamal Adams stands out so much on the practice field," Silver said. "He so clearly loves to do this and is so passionate about it. It's infectious. It's fun for the fans and it's fun for us, but if you're another player out there, you can vibe off that too."

Like King, Silver believes Adams will take the next step for the Green & White this season.
