Strengths

• Strong upper body, arms and hands. Coordinated feet with the flexibility for offensive tackle. Hard worker.
• 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.
• Has the feet to adjust when he anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target.
• Eases out of his stance and has a finisher's mentality. Bends his knees, has above-average mobility and keeps his base square to adjust to counters.
• Big athlete with good bulk and a filled-out frame. Stays balanced and doesn't overextend in pass protection. Stays disciplined with good bend and leverage.

Weaknesses

• A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
• Isn't an elite quick-twitch blocker and his height causes him to be out-quicked. Leaks inside pressure when his technique gets sloppy.
• Struggles to be consistent blocking in motion and doesn't have the natural foot quickness to cover a lot of ground.
• Attacks when necessary, though he won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
• Heavy-footed with limited lateral quickness. Stiff and looks like he's moving in wet cement in the open field.
