Samuel Adam Adkins (born May 21, 1955) is a former professional American football player. He attended Cleveland High School in Reseda, CA and Wichita State University. He played for the NFL Seattle Seahawks from 1977-1981, and is the only member of the Seahawks to wear the number 12. In 1984, the number 12 was retired for the Seattle Seahawks fans (aka the "12s"). The 12s is often considered to be the fans in the stands, as there are 11 players on the field at all times. While this rings true for crowds at home games in general, it became a prominent nickname that most football fans associate with the Seahawks. He and his wife Dayle have 4 children.

Since his retirement, he has worked in broadcasting in the Seattle area, as the color commentator for the University of Washington football radio broadcasts and more extensively as a host and correspondent on the Seahawks post-game show.
