Undrafted Free Agents 2016: Vernon Adams Rumors, Predictions for Signed Players

NFL fans across the country have spent the days following the 2016 draft dissecting the players their teams landed and figuring out which impact rookies to pick when their fantasy leagues roll around. However, some of the top talent from the college game last season went undrafted.

Playmakers such as Oregon’s Vernon Adams, Alabama’s Jacob Coker, Kansas State’s Glenn Gronkowski, Ohio State’s Jalin Marshall and Duke’s Jeremy Cash were undrafted free agents once the seven-round spectacle came to a close in Chicago on Saturday. 

Coker, Gronkowski, Marshall and Cash have all reportedly been signed since they went undrafted, while Adams’ immediate future has been the subject of some speculation.

With that in mind, here is a look at the full draft results before digging into the latest rumors surrounding Adams and some predictions for a few of the players already signed.

Vernon Adams Rumors and Outlook

Rand Getlin of NFL Network provided a glimpse at Adams’ future after he wasn’t picked: “I’m told Oregon QB [Adams] will be in Renton next week for a rookie minicamp tryout with the Seahawks.”

Getlin also reported the former Oregon signal-caller had a tryout planned with Washington after he was done with Seattle.

The fact Adams already has multiple tryouts scheduled is welcome news for football fans hoping to see him on the field again this fall.

He started his career at Eastern Washington and threw for more than 10,000 yards and 110 touchdowns, per his NFL.com draft profile. He transferred to Oregon and worked through some injury concerns, but he still tallied 26 touchdown passes to only six interceptions and helped fill the shoes of former Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota.

Adams doesn’t bring the same type of speed as Mariota, but he is a solid decision-maker (hence the low interception total), and he can escape pressure in the pocket and progress through his receivers with relative ease. He has solid touch on his deep ball as well.

The Pac-12 Network shared a look at some of his accolades:

Confidence is not a concern, either, considering Adams …
