It was almost unsettling for Mike Adams this week as the Broncos' defense lined up for the first time against the Broncos' offense.
Yet there he was, as a first-team safety, sharing a defensive backfield with guys such as Champ Bailey and Tracy Porter. Not that Adams isn't used to being a starter — the veteran started 16 games for the Browns last season. He's just used to being the underdog player, the guy who climbs the depth chart through practice.
"I've never walked into a situation where it was like, 'Oh, I've got the job. I can be comfortable.' I came from behind every time. Every time," Adams said. "I'm more comfortable coming from behind."
