Hmmmm. Tell the same to NFL scouts, GM, and the like. 40 time is important or they wouldn't use it as a measure for a WR. It isn't preeminent but to compare Sharpe and Adams is one of the oddest things I think I've ever heard. The reps on the bench by Adams weren't overly impressive. He can jump and has good hands...those appear to be his calling cards. I don't think he's very gifted in the speed domain at all. He looks sluggish to me. He said he's never been caught. I watched one of his highlight reels where someone did just that. What should've been a 90+ yard TD ended with him being tackled at the opposing 30. Wind it to about :35 in.
Most of his highlights are versus uniforms from teams you've never seen in your life. He did have some nice plays vs. USC that weren't hit. He doesn't look very quick to me. James Jones wasn't either and maybe that's why the comparison. So, 40 time would play a large role in being compared to JJ. I know it'll be said over and over about Ted Thompson and his 2nd round WR's but a lot of the staff that was there when we took all those past 2nd rounders is gone. This 2nd rounder stands on it's own. Let's see how he does. I don't have high hopes for him...I have higher hopes for Abbrederis even with his limited athleticism.
