Can't wait to get to Montreal. #Alouettes ud83dude4fud83cudffdud83cudfc8 Thank you God.

The 5-foot-11 Adams had unsuccessful recent tryouts with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins. After moving to Oregon from Eastern Washington last season as a graduate transfer, he completed 168 of 259 passes for 2,643 yards and 26 touchdowns with only six interceptions in 10 starts for the Ducks.
