02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Steelers in 2012 ran a relatively traditional pro-style offense with a strong emphasis on a power run game and play-action concepts.

Left TackleRight TackleSwing Tackle
Best role

As an immediate swing tackle, Adams's ceiling is a starting right tackle who can handle power rushers.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a purely zone-based blocking scheme that heavily emphasizes quick-footed, agile linemen pulling and reaching.

His size and strength are well-suited for a power run scheme where he can establish a strong anchor and drive defenders off the ball, providing depth and potential starter upside.

04The evaluation

Selected #56 overall in Round 2 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Ohio State.
