Montravius Adams, DL, Auburn

Montravius Adams is one of the tougher players for me to evaluate.  There are times on his tape where he just looks unstoppable.  Then there are the times where he just completely disappears from the game.  He was one of the most highly recruited players during his class, but has struggled to live up to expectations.  Two seasons ago he finally started showing some glimpses of the player that he could be.  This last year he showed even more consistency in his ability to take over games.  Still, his game leaves you wanting just a bit more.

This week could be a big one for him to show his incredible ability to win early and often.  As an interior defender, he has a great first step.  When he puts everything together he is a guy that can win with both speed and power.  I just keep picturing this kid paired up with Bill Kollar refining his immense talent.

There are reasons that Adams has dropped down some draft boards.  If he doesn’t win with his first step there are many times he just stops.  He doesn’t have the secondary moves to figure out how to disengage a blocker and go make a play.  There are times his vision can also lead to some big plays for the opposition.  They will use his aggressive style of play to run a counter play right behind where he just rushed from.
