Jamal Adams chats with reporters after Jets practice Wednesday.

Jets safety Jamal Adams admittedly got emotional over his family’s first trip to the Pro Bowl.

Adams — who vowed after his rookie season last year that he would never be snubbed again for the honor — said he and his father, former Giants first-round pick George Adams, shared a few tears upon learning Tuesday night that the second-year safety was one of three Jets named to the NFL’s version of the All-Star Game.

“It’s an honor, man, a dream come true, honestly,” Adams said after practice Wednesday.
