The Colts utilize a hybrid 4-3 defense with elements of both Cover 2 and Cover 3, focusing on versatile linebackers who can play multiple roles.
As a strong, downhill run defender, he could immediately contribute on special teams while developing into a two-down WILL linebacker with potential for situational pass-rush packages.
A purely pass-heavy 3-4 defense that asks linebackers to consistently drop into extensive coverage responsibilities would negate his primary strengths.
Adams projects as a core special teamer from day one, with the physical tools and intensity to carve out a role as an early-down linebacker in a run-first defense.
