Scouting Report: Strengths

• Excellent hand movement - able to latch on to defenders without drawing holding penalties
• Sky high football IQ, able to recognize pass-rushing moves instinctively and effortlessly herds rushers to the outside
• Elite balance with smooth footwork and smooth in his movements while moving laterally as a pass blocker
• Gets out of his initial stance surprisingly quick for such a big man - enables him to engulf smaller rushers and put them on the ground
• Has consistently recorded elite pass-blocking grades from a number of evaluators - in his senior year surrendered zero sacks despite playing more than 900 snaps.
• Dips shoulder and moves his feet to get outside leverage when needed. Strong and low coming out of his stance, effective in short-yardage situations.
• Willing to attack and punches multiple times to finish the play. Quick to pick up edge blitz and shows no panic, easily adjusting angles and resetting his feet. Can recover and reset his anchor. Rarely late off the snap.
• Quick setting up after the snap and slides well to the outside, staying patient and balanced off the snap.
• Has ideal size at 6’7″, 319 pounds, he has decent arm length and wingspan. If a scout were to draw up a starting NFL left tackle, the picture may look like a lot like Adams. His height, length, and athletic build are prototypical for the position that helps protect the blind side of ultra-important starting quarterbacks.
• Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
• Had an impressive performance at the combine putting up 24 reps on the bench and 24 times and a 107 in the broad jump
