FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Tony Adams’ game film at Illinois impressed the Jets enough to spark real interest. The safety’s pre-draft interview with New York’s coaches sealed the deal. Safeties coach Marquand Manuel asked him during a video call what he wanted to get out of the NFL. Coach Robert Saleh recalled that Adams said he wanted to take someone’s job.

Adams says he doesn’t think he did anything special other than just doing his job.
