Davante Adams blasts NY Jets teammates for ‘waste’ of talent on roster
Adams believes the Jets are wasting their talent with their poor attitude.
Davante Adams may be the new guy in the NY Jets locker room, but he’s already taking it upon himself to spark change. The six-time Pro Bowler delivered an impassioned speech to the Jets’ locker room following the team’s embarrassing 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
Adams delivered what Aaron Rodgers referred to as “the realest speech I’d ever heard in a locker room in 20 years,” calling out his new teammates, many of whom he had just met five days earlier, for their poor attitude and lack of effort in Sunday’s loss.
Adams told reporters on Wednesday that he was disturbed by the Jets’ “dead sideline,” most notably following Breece Hall’s 57-yard catch and run in the second quarter. “There was a lack of energy and urgency out there, and it was apparent,” Adams told reporters.
The three-time All-Pro took it one step further, lambasting the Jets for “a waste” of talent on the roster. Adams believes the Jets are wasting the talent they have with poor effort and lackluster energy — and he’s not wrong.

It says a lot that a guy who had been on the roster for less than one full week was not only able to immediately identify a major culture problem with the organization but that he felt emboldened enough to step up and say something since no one else would.
