Episode 1,475 - Against All Odds: The Journey of Jets Rookie DB Tony Adams w/Bob Asmussen

Scott Mason talks with Illinois football beat writer for the Champaign News-Gazette and IlliniHQ.com Bob Asmussen about the unlikely journey to the NFL of former Illinois DB Tony Adams, who made the Jets' 2022 roster as an undrafted free agent! Bob discusses Adams' background growing up in Missouri, how he wound up at Illinois, the versatility he displayed on the football field, his intense work ethic, how he handled adversity, his decision to return to Illinois in 2021 rather than entering the NFL Draft, his relationships with players and coaches, how he may fit in NY with the Jets, and much more!
