“The Wolverine,” Adams said. “I just watched him all my career, especially when I was at the University of Delaware. I watched him play with the Eagles. (Brian) Dawkins was a great player.”
Adams has worn No. 20 his entire career because of the respect he has for two men who have worn the same number and played the position: former Jacksonville Jaguar Donovin Darius and recently retired Bronco Brian Dawkins – The Wolverine.
Dawkins’ retirement means that Adams doesn’t have to find a new number, but he might have to get used to a new role.
The former Cleveland Brown was the first player the Broncos signed when free agency opened in March. When Dawkins announced his retirement a little more than a month later, Adams' role on the defense became more clear.
