Despite a need for quarterbacks in the NFL, Vernon Adams isn't being talked about as a first-round, or even early-round draft pick in 2016.

But the Oregon playmaker wants you to know he belongs.

"I feel like I'm as good as everybody else, or better than everybody else in this draft," Adams told USA TODAY Sports.

Adams, who spent three years at Eastern Washington and one at Oregon, has received limited draft hype due to his lack of size.

He checked in at 5-foot-11 at the NFL combine, the shortest in the class.
