  • Sam Adams talks playing Defensive Line and his NFL Journey | vIQ #24

    On this episode of the vIQtory podcast we are joined by 14 Year NFL Defensive Lineman and former Texas A&M All-American, Sam Adams.

    Sam was one on of the most versatile and dominant defensive linemen of his era. He went from highly touted 1st Round Pick to being a massive contributor at multiple different positions and earned a Super Bowl with the Ravens along the way. As a consummate student of the game, few defensive linemen understand the game as deeply as he does (and we hope he becomes a coach soon because of it). Until then, he remains focused on being a dedicated father to his children who are undergoing their own sports endeavors
