Here's ESPN's take on Adams:

Full Name: Keith A Adams
Born: November 22, 1979
Atlanta, GA
Height: 5-11
Weight: 223 lbs. Age: 26
Pos: LB
Experience: 5 years
College: Clemson
Drafted: Year:2001 Round:7 Pick:32, Titans
Overall Grade: 69 (Adequate Starter)

Adams is an undersize OLB who plays a lot bigger than his size. He has exceptional athletic ability, quickness and change of direction skills. He is a downhill linebacker who has a great motor and has the speed to make plays from sideline to sideline. He has improved his ability to hold up at the point of attack vs the run. He was physical against the isolation plays and did a good job stuffing blockers when teams ran at him. He takes good angles to the ball and did a good job of slipping blocks and avoiding the traffic. He has good football instincts and recognition skills. He is a very good player in space, has excellent range and is around the ball. He has the speed and quickness to cover the elite running back out of the backfield man-to-man. He gets good depth on his zone drops. He is an excellent special team's player who throws his body around and plays with reckless abandon on the cover teams. The only problem with Adams is his lack of bulk. If he does not beat the blocker, he'll get overpower at the point of attack and get engulfed by bigger offensive lineman. He sometimes doesn't play under control and will over run plays. Overall, Adams is a young player who has a lot of experience for his age. He has elevated his game to be an adequate starter. He has improved his overall cover skills and has become a more physical player in the run game. He is a good football player with a lot of upside. He is the type of player that you are glad is on your team.
