GAME FILM
​#24 WILL ADAMS VS LENOIR-RHYNE (2021)

​Strengths

• He is physical and athletic, with a long frame and imposing a defensive back.
• He has excellent speed, as displayed on film where his long-range shows.
• He shows perfect fluidity and movement skills on the field, coming in and out of his breaks in transitions.
• He has short-area quickness with explosive traits and skills.
• He plays with a high running motor that chases after the ball until the sound of a whistle.
• He is a willing tackler with a thump against the run with excellent tackling ability.
• He has tremendous leaping ability, will win most 50/50 ball battles

​
Weaknesses

• Will his frame be able to hold up at the next level
• He has a slim frame and will benefit from adding additional muscle mass and improving his technique to compete against NFL-level.
• He does not possess the long speed needed to stay with speedy receivers who take the defense's roof off.
• He lacks the playmaking ability in the passing game and only had one interception last season.
• The level of competition will be the most significant setback for him in the draft.

Draft Projection: 7th - UDFA 

NFL Comparison: Anthony Harris (Minnesota Vikings)
