The Lions are signing S Andrew Adams to a one-year contract. Nice addition to their secondary. He had 4 INTs last season, has started parts of the last 3 years with Tampa and the Giants.

Andrew Adams earned a 59.4 overall in 2018. Although he had a career-high 69.0 coverage grade, his 30.5 run defense grade and 29.4 tackling grade really hurt his overall.
He did allow a 35.3 passer rating in coverage (3rd lowest by Safety), but that was partly due to 3 INTs in WK 13 vs CAR.
13 missed tackles on only 47 tackling attempts.
But he has shown flashes with three games earning an overall game grade of 86.0 or higher in 2018.

This is an interesting signing. He's young at 25, and has already been cut by teams that had needs at Safety.

Yet, in 13 games for the Bucs last season, he had 9 passes defended and four picks.

Not sure if he's better than he looks at first glance, or got lucky.

Thanks for regrurgitating the articles ink
 
Basically a 3rd down Safety that's decent in coverage but not a great tackler lol. Meh
