Davante Adams has only been with the New York Jets for a short period of time, but he’s already emerging as a leader in the locker room.
The star wide receiver said he addressed some of the team’s issues after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
“It’s not my personality to see something that’s not right and just let it go on…” he said. “There was a lack of energy and urgency out there, and it was apparent… I had reservations about speaking up too early and being too vocal too early, but I said, ‘f that,’ because we don’t have time… I wouldn’t have been able to sleep if I didn’t speak up on it. I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback… A lot of these guys in here haven’t been anywhere else where they’ve won and had that urgency that it takes to be a good team. This team being so talented, it’s a waste to have a dead sideline like that… I’m not here to be the savior. I’m here to help shift this culture more than anything. I’m trying to enforce a winning mindset on these guys.”
