Davante Adams recalls the time he got hit so hard that he bit through his tongue
'I couldn't eat for like a week and a half' Davante Adams is not a wide receiver who's afraid to go over the middle and take a shot from a safety or linebacker. It's part of what makes him so great, but it's also led to some painful moments throughout his career. During an interview on the 'Dan Patrick Show' Wednesday, the Los Angeles Rams receiver recalled the time he got hit so hard by New England Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins that he couldn't eat for a week and a half after. Why? Because he wasn't wearing a mouth guard and bit through his tongue on impact. 'My second year, preseason, we were playing the Patriots and I ran another slant and thought I was getting busy after,' Adams said. 'This was before I would wear a mouthpiece. Caught it, was getting ready to turn up and Jamie Collins hit me in my – like, one of these, in your chest – and then raised up so he made me bite through my tongue and I couldn't eat food for like a week and a half. I had to go on a strictly liquid diet.' Naturally, Patrick asked why Adams didn't wear a mouth guard at that point in his career and he admits the logic isn't sound. 'Well, my reason is going to be even dumber than not wearing a mouthpiece,' Adams said. It's because he wore a gold grill during games, which started back in his high school days in East Palo Alto. 'I would wear a gold grill – like, the gold teeth – in games. So I wore the tops and bottoms in games and it started in high school because it was kind of like a culture thing. I grew up in East Palo Alto and that was a real popular thing. Guys wore grills and I just decided to keep it and it kind of worked as an intimidation factor, a little bit. People would see it and be like, 'Oh, (expletive). This dude's wearing gold teeth in a game? Oh my god.' And then I would talk a little crazier to them, too, and put all that together.' Thankfully, Adams decided to wear a mouth guard the very next game after taking that shot from Collins. 'So, yeah. Not the best reason and I put one in the next game after that,' he said.

Tar Heels add former Super Bowl-winning defender to coaching staff
With spring practices just around the corner, Bill Belichick and North Carolina are adding another familiar face to their new head coach on the Tar Heels coaching staff. Former New England Patriots Super Bowl-winning linebacker Jamie Collins will join his former head coach at the collegiate level as a defensive assistant. Collins joins the ranks of coaching for the first time in his post-playing career. His decade-long NFL career began with Bill Belichick in New England being drafted out of Southern Miss. He played from 2013-2016 in Foxborough, leading the NFL in forced fumbles in 2015, the same year he was selected to his only NFL Pro Bowl and was named second-team All-Pro. After that, he made his way to the Cleveland Browns for three seasons before going back to Foxborough for a season. He played from 2020 to 2021 with the Detroit Lions before ending his career back in New England, eventually retiring in 2023. Retired All-Pro LB Jamie Collins, who won Super Bowl XLIX with the Patriots, is joining his former head coach Bill Belichick's coaching staff at the University of North will serve as a defensive assistant for @UNCFootball. @UNC @JamieLee601 — TMZ Sports (@TMZ_Sports) February 7, 2025 Collins finished his NFL career with 708 tackles, 26.5 sacks, 39 deflected passes, 12 interceptions, 19 forced fumbles, and 11 fumble recoveries.
