Myles Adams’ parents, Lish and Valeria Adams, are enthusiastic and supportive of their son’s blossoming NFL career.

Myles Adams is from Arlington, Texas, and played college football for the Rice Owls before joining the NFL.

Besides playing for the Detroit Lions, he played for other NFL teams like Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks.

Despite their son’s flourishing NFL career, his parents, Lish and Valeria, have preferred to stay away from the spotlight.

However, after some digging, we found that Lish Adams played football for the Sam Houston Bearkats football.

Adams attended Sam Houston State after playing high school football in Jasper.  

Like his son, Lish also had notable achievements. In 1985, he was Bearkat’s freshman of the year.

He was also All-Conference in 1986-88. Similarly, in 1986-87, he was the team’s most valuable defensive player.

Additionally, he was an All-American in 1987-88 and the team’s MVP in 1988.  

He worked in production and manufacturing management, owned Bearkat Contracting, and worked for D’Marc Medical, a De Soto-based home medical equipment firm.

Furthermore, Lish Adams graduated from Northwood University with a BBA degree.

He works as a Field Service Lead at 3M, an American multinational conglomerate.

There is little information about Myles’ mother, Valeria. But after looking for her on LinkedIn, we uncovered a Fort Worth, Texas-based account.

If this account is indeed Myles Adams’ mother’s, she is an educator, musician, and caregiver.

According to her LinkedIn page, Valeria earned a degree in Music Pedagogy from the University of North Texas.

Then, she worked as the Music Director at Hillcrest Academy in Dallas, Texas.

While Valeria has a public Instagram account, she only posts pictures of her time with family and friends.

Nevertheless, according to one of the tagged posts, she is artistic and enjoys painting.

Moreover, Myles posted a picture alongside his mother on Mother’s Day with the caption:

“Who can find a virtuous woman? She is far more precious than jewels… Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle. Her sons rise up and call her blessed. He husband also praises her: Many women are capable, but you surpass them all! Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised. ~Proverbs 31:10, 25-30. Happy Mother’s Day!”

Valeria has inspired her family and child throughout their life path, impacting them profoundly.

While Myles inherited the athletic prowess from his father, Lish, he acquired his mother’s perseverance and determination.
