Jamal Adams is sick and tired of losing, sick of looking around his locker room and wondering where all the dawgs were, and it is why he recruited Le’Veon Bell as passionately as he did.

“He can do everything, man. … He changed the game,” Adams said. “I strongly believe he changed the game as far as running backs, man, with his stopping and his acceleration to stop on a dime, to have patience in the backfield, letting blocks clear. And not only that, he can block, he can catch the ball and he’s a helluva teammate, so I definitely respect him and I’m excited that he’s a part of the organization.”

Bell views Adams the same way Adams views Bell, because ballers recognize ballers.

“Me and him got the same marketing guy, so I knew him kind of like off the field and ran into him a couple of times, but I just knew Jamal as obviously one of them great players … obviously a young player, who’s coming into his own,” Bell said.

“I know he brings that energy on defense. He challenges guys on the offense, he challenges guys on the defense. I’m excited to see him play a full game, like in person go to watch him play, because it’s gonna be fun.

“He’s like one of those guys, one of those rare guys who brings that type of electric on defense.”

Bell sets a tone on offense the Jets haven’t had since Curtis Martin retired, while Adams enters his third season as a captain for the second time.

After 5-11 and 4-12 seasons, there is no Jet more desperate to win than Adams.

“I can probably speak for everybody: If you don’t make the Super Bowl, that’s not a successful season, no matter what it is,” Adams said.

He is the Mouth That Roars, on the field, on the sidelines, inside the locker room. He is a Pro Bowler who puts his money where that mouth is.

“I don’t put pressure on myself. My rookie year I did, I thought it was the craziest thing I ever did it as far as playing football,” Adams said. “I never will put pressure on myself again.”

He was the sixth pick of the 2017 draft, remember.

“Just had expectations,” Adams said. “Not knowing any better. I was a little skinnyhead. … I think I had like a light Mohawk-kind of look, I was ugly … young, and just kind of dumb. I didn’t know a lot, but obviously I learned, I learned through coaching, I learned through experiences, and I think as a man, or as a human, you’re challenged by your letdowns, your failures. So it speaks to character of how you bounce back from it, so I’m excited to get started with Year 3, I could tell you that.”

Adams hates that he has one lousy career interception.

“Gollie. What [should] I have? Like 10 right now?” he joked. “It’s very frustrating having one pick in two years, that’s all everybody talks about, but whatever. I’m not worried about it. Obviously gotta get ’em up, I’m gonna get ’em up.”

He’s thrilled that defensive coordinator Gregg Williams can only help him.

“He might be louder than me, in fact, he is,” Adams said.

Adams is nicknamed “The President,” and he wins the popular vote in the locker room.

“He’s fiery, he’s passionate, he’s a helluva football player,” Ty Montgomery said. “He’s got some of the best instincts I’ve seen on the football team in a long time.”

Ask special teams demon Rontez Miles, also a Jets captain, whether he thinks Adams can become a Hall of Fame player, and he says: “Yes I do. He can do everything. I feel like the mental part be the hardest part for most athletes, but he has that as well.”

Adams was honored by his second captaincy.

“I just gotta hold everybody accountable as well as them holding me accountable,” he said.

How does he hold everybody accountable?

“There’s different ways,” he said. “Whether it’s on the field, whether it’s off the field, whatever it is, whatever is gonna help this team win, we need to do.”

He has no doubt Le’Veon Bell is gonna help he and his team win.
