STRENGTHS
Adrian Amos can be listed at safety or cornerback, and how he’s viewed by teams may vary. He has excellent speed, agility and short-area burst. He plays with balance and control, never letting his weight get too out in front of his feet or his back too straight. Amos has a cut physique and is known as a gym rat who loves football. He shows good balance and burst in his start-and-stop and can change direction without losing time. At 6’0″ and 218 pounds, he has the size to play at cornerback, nickelback or safety.
WEAKNESSES
Amos disappears in run support and will take himself out of the play if a tackle is needed. At cornerback, he doesn’t have the speed to recover off the line, but at safety he shows good range. There will be questions about combine (4.56) vs. pro day (4.39) speed, but on film he’s a legit 4.45 player. Amos could fall into the tweener category, and he doesn’t have much experience running at safety.
2014 STATISTICS
