Davante Adams refuses to stay silent after seeing glaring Jets issues: ‘Don’t have time’
NY Post
It took Davante Adams six days of being a Jet to see problems with the team’s culture and feel the need to speak up about it.
Adams gave a speech to the Jets in the locker room following Sunday night’s 37-15 loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
Despite only joining the team less than a week before the game, Adams felt the need to speak up about what he perceived as a lack of energy from the team.
“Obviously, there was a lack of energy and urgency out there. It was apparent,” Adams said Wednesday. “I’ve played on teams that have that winning culture. Basically, I took a moment to let them know. I had reservations about speaking up too early and being too vocal too early, but in my mind I said, ‘F that’ because we don’t have time. I’ve got to do whatever I’ve got to do to help this team move forward.
“I wouldn’t have been able to sleep if I didn’t speak up on it.”
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the speech from Adams was well received by the team.
