When veteran defender Jamal Adams joined the Vikings, the team ****** igned him a traditional linebacker number: 54. He recently switched to 32.
And while he's still officially listed in the team's online roster as a linebacker, the change means Adams will be playing plenty of safety — his original NFL position.
Adams anticipates being deployed at both positions.
"I was telling some people inside the training room, just to have somebody believe in me again, and to know I can go back there and play the safety position, it feels great," Adams said, via Lindsey Young of Vikings.com. "I can kind of do it all in the back end. I just want to be versatile and do anything I can to help the team.
"The key is winning. So whatever they need me to do, I'm going to do. That's what I'm here for."
