It’s not often that the son of an NFL player follows in his father’s footsteps. It’s even more unique when a highly-talented father has a son who surpasses him in that regard.
George Adams, a former running back at Kentucky, was selected by the New York Giants with the 19th-overall pick in the 1985 NFL Draft and went on to enjoy a six-year career in the pros. His son, Jamal Adams, made him a bet before this year’s draft.

Widely considered one of the top prospects in this year’s draft, Adams seemed like a lock to be selected before No. 19, which probably made this a pretty easy bet for him to make.
The former LSU safety is in the league, and he can now focus on making a greater impact than his father ever did.
