BIG PICTURE
A high-risk, high-reward prospect from Washington, Trey Adams entered the scene in 2015 as a left tackle and looked to be a positive draft trajectory. But an ACL tear in 2017 and a bulging disk in his back in 2018 created an injury-prone label that is never good for a player of Adams’ size. Still, he earned first-team PAC 12 honors as a senior. He is a tough man to get past, but will teams be scared off by his combine performance, which was arguably the worst of all offensive linemen?
COMBINE NOTABLES
5.6 40-yard dash (worst)
24.5-inch vertical (T-worst)
92-inch broad jump (worst)
VIKINGS COMPATIBILITY RANKING
2 out of 5. Adams is huge, but his injury history and lack of athleticism could throw the Vikings off the scent.
HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT DRAFT EXPERTS SAY
Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: “After watching his 2016 tape in the summer of 2017, I came away believing Adams might be the most talented young tackle in college football. However, a 2017 ACL tear and 2018 back injury have taken several points away from his athletic rating. His pass sets look pretty and he still possesses adequate movement talent, but his struggles to withstand force against his edge as a run blocker and pass protector should be a red flag for most offensive line coaches. Gathering medical info and determining recovery potential will be critical in projecting his pro prospects. He has talent at a priority position, but if he doesn’t get stronger and play much better than his 2019 tape, it will be hard for him to keep a starting job for long.”
Kyle Crabbs, Draft Network: “Trey Adams is a bit of a high risk, high reward prospect. His college career has been littered with significant injures — but if you can get past the durability issues, Adams brings requisite length, initial quickness and power at the point of attack to be a productive left tackle at the NFL level. Adams’ issues in lateral situations and in deep pass sets suggest he’s more favorable for a WCO offense and utilized in inside zone or gap/power rushing concepts. Potential starter at NFL level.”
