“Adams’ run-stop and stuff metrics don’t really pop — unless he’s aligned specifically as a nose tackle,” they wrote. “The 6-foot-4 tackle leads all players in run stuffs (7) and run-stuff rate (8.8%, min 100 defensive snaps) from a nose tackle alignment this season. In fact, Adams accounts for three of the 18 games this season in which a player aligned as a nose tackle has recorded multiple run stuffs.
What makes Adams’ numbers even more impressive is how often he’s double-teamed. His 61.4 percent double-team rate as a nose tackle is the highest in the league since 2021 (min. 300 defensive snaps).”
