Dialed In with ADRIAN AMOS, JR. ’11

What was your path to becoming the starting safety for the Green Bay Packers?

After high school, I played 4 years at Penn State University. I was drafted in 2015 to the Chicago Bears where I was a 4 year starter. In 2019, my contract was finished with the Bears and the Packers signed me to a big deal in free agency.

You started the “I’m Still Here Foundation” which dedicates resources and increases awareness for Grama’s Brain (Alzheimer’s), Smash Outreach (helps underprivileged children in and out of the classroom), and Next Level Nation (helps young men prepare for collegiate-level football athletically and academically). Why are these initiatives important to you?

I’m passionate about my faith. I’m thankful and, along with hard work, know where my blessings come from. I want to share my blessings with others. I started my foundation based on things I’m passionate about which are Alzheimer’s and the youth . I grew up with a family who always gave back even when we didn’t have a lot to give. My mother worked hard and took care of people. My father worked with kids in the community and my grama was also big in the community. My grama was a big part of my life and had Alzheimer’s. I saw her fight the disease for years until she eventually passed away in 2020. After she passed, I donated a $1,000 for every tackle I made that season. I look to carry on her giving heart through my actions.

Outside of football, what are some of your passions?

Outside of football, I am big on spending as much time as I can with my family. I play other sports such as basketball and have been giving golf a shot. I also have investments and businesses I am continuing to grow including my store. I am part owner of Branded BeSpoke. We have a store in the Towson Town Center. We are a garment manufacturer who specialize in suits and casual wear. That’s something I’m excited about as I have grown to have a heavy interest in business as well as fashion.

What skills or knowledge did you learn at Calvert Hall that you find to be the most useful in your multiple endeavors on and off the field?

Calvert Hall helped me as far as my transition to college. My college courses seemed easy to me because of the academic structure at The Hall. I felt as if I was very prepared and had the tools to succeed.

Where was your favorite place to hang out during frees?

The cafeteria because I’m always hungry.
