People are thinking far too little about scouts if they think they are looking so deeply into petty things. Vernon Adams was a fantastic college quarterback, but he simply wasn't athletic enough for the NFL. Period. If there was any team that could look past his height, it would be Seattle. Heck, Seattle is almost better at picking up free agents than they are at drafting. He wasn't up to snuff and got beat out by Boykin. Quickly. Did anyone notice how he only lasted for a few days in both the NFL camps he attended? He just doesn't have what it takes for the NFL.
Vernon will light up the CFL. He will never play a down in the NFL.
I think there is more to the story for some reason. Adams did great at EWU, he did really well at Oregon, he basically proved he was a winner at both college levels. He then lit up the senior bowl and had a decent combine.
It was extremely odd to me that no one picked him in the draft, then no one signed him as a undrafted FA, and then he was cut from both tryouts. On top of that, the CFL team that drafted his rights and was absolutely gaga about him, then traded him...maybe it was a $$$ thing in the CFL
Something just seems odd about the whole situation...
