Among the new and notable faces trying out at Redskins rookie minicamp this weekend was quarterback Vernon Adams, the former Oregon Duck who threw for 2,634 yards and 26 touchdowns last season en route to finishing No. 19 in the nation.
After completing rookie minicamp with the Seahawks last weekend and leaving without a contract, Adams was granted another opportunity to compete for a roster spot by the Redskins, who lined him up next to sixth-round draft pick Nate Sudfeld and another tryout passer in Zach Oliver from Northwestern.
The offensive MVP of the East-West Shrine Game, Adams wasn’t surprised he went undrafted based on his short, stocky build (he stands at 5-foot-11, 200 pounds), as well as his predominant position in the shotgun, but is content that he is gaining more experience under center, working to prove himself to anyone that will watch.
