Overview
Adams is a mountain of a man who projects as a right guard in a power running scheme. He started there his junior year, but moved to right tackle as a senior, so he has experience outside. Does not look like a great athlete, but moves better than you would expect with his technique. True senior who competed in almost every game his first season, making the All-SEC Freshman team.
Analysis
Positives: His body is wide, his arms long and his hands are large, all of which makes defensive ends go the long way around to get to the quarterback ... At tackle or guard, he gets into his pass pro set quickly and generally keeps himself in good position with solid footwork and a nice anchor ... Has the muscle and girth to drive block, but could explode off the ball more quickly ... Once he's locked onto someone with arms extended, they're not going anywhere.
Negatives: Weight and work ethic are major concerns ... Has a bad body with a huge gut ... Not consistent on the field, either, as he can dominate at times and look very slow and tired on other plays ... Smaller ends can get him off-balance with speed moves, and he does not recover quickly ... Not adept at picking up blitzes ... Less than adequate at getting to linebackers at the second level ... Needs to work on maintaining flexibility and knee bend, as it does not come naturally ... Could be a guard-tackle 'tweener as he's not always as strong as you'd expect at his size.
