Adams has often received criticism for his poor pass coverage by NFL fans. And his intro immediately prompted a reaction from Twitter, especially since he was ranked 62nd out of 85 qualified players at his position.

"The PFF rank of 62 at the bottom was a particularly funny add on," one user wrote.

"Jamal Adams, have you seen your metrics this season? You sure as hell aren't the best in the nation," another person wrote.
