Davante Adams, the new member of the New York Jets, has made a significant impact in the team's locker room, receiving praise from Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers praised Adams's locker room address after New York's 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, highlighting his contributions to the team's success. "I thought it was the realest speech I'd heard in a locker room in the last 20 years," said Rodgers, via Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Rodgers did not disclose the details of Adams's speech, but it was evident that it resonated with the veteran quarterback.

After a disappointing 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jets quarterback Adam Adams expressed his heartfelt frustration in the locker room. "It’s not really my personality to see something that’s not right and to just let it go on,” Adams said. “Obviously it was a lack of energy and urgency out there and it was apparent, especially [because] I’ve played on teams that have that winning culture. Basically, I just took a moment to let them know [that] I had reservations about speaking up too early and being too vocal too early, but I felt like in my mind I said F that because we don’t have time and I gotta do whatever I gotta do to help this team move forward and a lack of energy that’s a prerequisite to be able to go out there and have a good year or have a good play or whatever it is."
He added, “In my mind, it was something that I wouldn’t have been able to sleep if I didn’t speak up on it… It wasn’t a big rah rah thing, it was more to bring awareness to it because a lot of the guys in here haven’t been anywhere else where they’ve won and had that urgency that it takes in order to be a good team. So this team being so talented roster-wise, it’s just a waste to have everybody out there and to have a dead sideline like that.”
Adams made his Jets debut in Pittsburgh, catching three catches for 30 yards and being targeted nine times. Despite his underwhelming performance on the field, Rodgers praised his postgame address. The New York Jets are determined to bounce back from a 2-5 record and secure a playoff spot with a must-win matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 8.
