Jamal Adams Responds To Backlash Over Dirty Hit On Rams QB John Wolford

Jamal Adams is still delivering hard hits — and Los Angeles Rams quarterback John Wolford found that out the hard way.

Wolford was knocked out of Saturday’s wild-card game at the Seattle Seahawks and sent to the hospital with a neck injury after taking a big hit by Adams on a quarterback scramble.

After the game, Adams spoke to reporters and relayed that he had actually spoken with the Rams QB following the injury:

Jamal Adams said he talked to John Wolford on Rams QB’s way to locker room with neck injury, and is praying for him. Said Wolford told him “I know you were just playing football and you didn’t mean anything.” #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/KqmxhtbCxn

Jamal Adams on hit on Wolford: My intention was never to take a cheapshot. I talked to him & he told me, "I know you're just playing football & didn't mean it." I'm praying he can continue his career, b/c I'm never trying to end anyone's career. I'm just playing fast & physical.

Wolford started the game in place of the injured Jared Goff — who was still recovering from Dec. 28 surgery on his right thumb.

Adams was initially flagged for an unnecessary roughness penalty, but officials picked up the flag, however, explaining Wolford was a runner and was not sliding to give himself up.
