The Saints selected Scott Adell in the 12th round of the 1992 NFL Draft after performing at North Carolina State.

Jo and Jessica are very close and share an emotional bond and support each other in every part of their life.
The two have also worked together, with Jessica assisting her brother with the “Jo Adell Foundation,” which gives back to the Louisville community.
