Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams was criticized by fans on social media Friday for mocking a reporter's wife.
Adams was criticized for his defense on a game-winning touchdown by Dallas Cowboys safety Jake Ferguson late on Thursday Night Football. During the action, the Cowboys took the lead just four and a half minutes before the end.
Connor Hughes, a journalist for SNYtv who has covered the Jets since Adams played for New York, retweeted the piece and captioned it, “Yikes.”
On Friday, Adams used the same caption — and a mocking emoji — when he tweeted a photo of Hughes' wife. Although Adams later deleted the tweet, fans rushed to condemn the post.
“Jamal Adams is a piece of human trash,” one fan wrote alongside a screenshot of Adams' deleted tweet.

“Jamal Adams has had a bad 24 hours,” a second fan wrote.
A third fan said Adams had “hit rock bottom,” while a fourth simply called him “a loser” for the comment.
Adams later added fuel to the fire by posting another tweet which said: 'Don't start, nothing will be nothing'.
“You got cooked last night,” one fan commented. “Just think of it as a man.”
Adams played his first three seasons in the NFL with the Jets before being traded to Seattle in 2020. Adams made the last of his three Pro-Bowl appearances in his first year with the Seahawks.
Adams has yet to record a sack or interception this season, while the Seahawks are currently 6-6 and second in the NFC West.
