Hard to find much information about him but here is what I have found

Pro day results

40 yard dash - 4.63

20 yard split 2.70

10 yard split 1.63

3 cone drill 7.05

20 yard shuttle - 4.46

225lb bench - 30

Vertical Jump 33-1/2"

Long Jump 10' 02"

 

All numbers would have been him in the upper echelon had he been invited to the combine.

 

Career at Houston (Looks like a 2 year starter but played in 48 games)

259 tackles

21 TFL

7.5 sacks

3 PBU

 

Solid career.

So far, Adams has preferred to do his talking with big hits. Defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio calls Adams "one of the more explosive tacklers" he has been around.

 

"It's just the way I was taught growing up," Adams said. "My dad and older brothers were big on hitting. One point my dad always made was that it was not a tackle unless you put your face on them, so I try to put my face on every ball carrier."...


..."He doesn't say much, but he's a workaholic," senior inside linebacker D'Juan Hines said. "He goes about his business. He likes to put in work on and off the field. All I've got to say is y'all have a lot coming from Matthew Adams. He's a leader. He's a team captain. He's the rock of the defense."

I'll admit that this is the first player we've drafted that I've never heard of.

Same here.

Wonder why Scales is still sitting there. Seems like a good gamble.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'd say it's his size, but he's about the same size as Adams.

Listening to Brugler on the draft show (Dallas Cowboys draft show) - says he's not great in coverage and has trouble finding the ball, but otherwise athletic LB who can hit. 

It’s coachable, just needs more time in the film room and trusting his instincts. I thought he filled gaps rather well in his highlight tape, but I’m sure he needs plenty of work. Good insight though.

Kind of a sounds a bit like Anthony Hitchens.

      What about Leonard at safety?

      He's not signed, there is nothing else to talk about and I am bored.

      Broncos to Add Ex Stanford Head Coach Shaw to Front Office

      By NFLfan · Posted

      Yes, I know. The Stanford teams  when Hogan was the starting QB were full of top recruits on offense and defense. It was so much fun being a fan then. I'm not as big a fan of Stanford as you are. Being on the East Coast makes it hard to follow them as much as I used to.   Overall, I am becoming less and less interested in sports. For over 20 years, I used to listen to sports radio whenever I had free time.  I used to follow tennis, golf, baseball, college basketball, a little NBA and NHL as well as NFL and college football. I once went to 20+ baseball games in a year.  The only sport I still follow religiously now is NFL football. I try to follow my favorite baseball team, the Mets, but not enough. I attribute my loss of interest to there being too much change and movement of players, coaches, teams, conferences, etc. Stanford is now part of the ACC! My goodness! (Shaking my head) I don't like all these changes in conferences.   I was a big fan of Ted Leyland, Stanford's former athletic director many years ago. It saddened me when Leyland left Stanford to go to the University of Pacific which was his alma mater. I see he retired. He hired Buddy Teevens who died last year. Back in those days, I followed Stanford football a lot more closely. They were not great years but I loved rooting for players who also excelled in the classroom.   TL;DR 😉

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      Oh I think they are ready. They are right in the thick of it. Well educated and smart women. They are more in tune with the Indianapolis Colts than all of the new ownership in the league is with their respective franchises. I'm not concerned in the least with these ladies taking over moving forward. I think it's a great thing and speaks to the stability that the organization is preaching and looking to build.

      I'm out this year. I'm going to be focusing on my bestballs and daily fantasy. I already have $400 invested and am making a concentrated effort this year to win some money.
