Kay Adams unrecognizable in early days as NFL fantasy football host before GMFB and FanDuel success

Kay Adams looks virtually unrecognizable in snaps from her days at SiriusXM

OVER the past decade Kay Adams has become one of the most popular figures in NFL broadcasting.

Her tenure with NFL Network as the host of Good Morning Football catapulted her to new heights before she made her way to FanDuel TV last year.

However, Adams' big break came with SiriusXM's Fantasy Sports Radio network.

While working for the network in 2012 and 2013, Adams was snapped covering the company's annual Celebrity Fantasy Football Draft.

Sporting typical 2010s bangs, Adams could be seen interviewing the likes of Maurice Jones-Drew and Larry Fitzgerald in sleeveless black tops and dresses on the red carpet.

In the years to come, Adams would make the move to NBC Sports, where she worked on Fantasy Football Live.

Fast forward to 2016, and she would take on the role of host on Good Morning Football.

Adams, Nate Burleson, Peter Schrager, and Kyle Brandt would make the show one of the network's most popular in the coming years.

Burleson would go on to leave the show for CBS This Morning in 2021.

A year later, Adams followed, leaving GMFB before joining FanDuel TV where she kickstarted her own show, Up And Adams, later that year.

In October, Adams told The U.S. Sun that despite "some bumps and bruises along the way," it had been "fun to build something new."

"FanDuel has been an amazing partner, allowing me to build content how I want to see it, spread my wings, and get to visit things like the Kentucky Derby or make a trip to London on our own," she said.

"I'm just where my feet are right now.

"I want to put my head down, deliver good content, string together consistent shows and I'm not saying 'no' to anything.

"I would love to be back working with the media group with the NFL. I loved my time with NFL Network so some kind of merger there.

"A lot of things have to be worked out given the sports betting.

"But I would love to be in the mix with everything, in the NFL and beyond."
