I think the problem Adams will have catching on somewhre is his hands and where and how his productivity came. 

He has not proven to be a great route runner or pass catcher  most of his productivity was on sweeps, outside throws behind the line and the little touch pass which is basically a hand off, but he gets credit for a reception.  This all worked great for the team, but doesn't translate well to the next level.  

You can't teach speed, but fast guys on both sides of the ball are a dime a dozen in the NFL. 

I wish him well  he ended up being a great Bull so I hope someone gives him a shot  

 

Really good analysis

I think you nailed it. He's fast, but he's not once in a generation fast. And certainly not fast enough to forget WR have to catch AND hang onto the ball.

Pre-combine, CBS had him as the #44 WR in the class.

...I guess it's something that he's a better WR prospect than a guy who played QB last year.

Wow. Look at the school that #21 and #27 are from.
