Jerell Adams enters the draft as a great athlete with a lot of room to continue to grow as a tight end. In high school, Adams played quarterback, tight end, linebacker, defensive end and punter, and showed off that athleticism at South Carolina as a tight end.
Adams can line up on the line as a tight end or out wide as a wide receiver. He is a good route runner and can create separation. Adams has long arms, which he uses to his advantage in blocking and catching contested balls.
In the run game, Adams was solid in college, but due to his skinnier frame will need to bulk up to be successful in the NFL. Adams knows the fundamentals of blocking and if he is able to develop to the adequate size, he will most likely be a very good blocker in the NFL.
If Adams can successfully bulk up, while still keeping his athleticism, he could really help a team. He may not have a big impact in year one, but he has a chance to be a good asset for many years to come. He would be a good fit in this Broncos offense, as he buys into the running game just as much as the passing game.
