During the 2017 season, Adams started the first 7 games, but after tearing his ACL in a game against Arizona State, he would remain benched for the rest of the season.[2] Prior to the injury, Adams was speculated as a first-round draft pick for the 2018 NFL draft.[3][4] Adams later announced that he would return to school for his senior year.[5]

In September 2018, a back injury prior to the start of the 2018 season caused him to miss the 2018 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game between Auburn and Washington. He would remain benched for the first 10 games of the season.[6][7] Adams would return to play in a November game against Oregon State, and he returned to the starting lineup for the 2018 Pac-12 Championship Game.[2] He has stated his intent to return to Washington for the 2019 season, his final year of eligibility.[7]

2019[edit]

Adams returned to play in his fifth and final year of eligibility in 2019, starting as left tackle in the Huskies' opening game against Eastern Washington on August 31.[8]

Professional career[edit]

After not being selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, Adams signed with the Buffalo Bills on May 7, 2020.[9] He was waived on September 5, 2020 and signed to the practice squad the next day.[10][11] On January 26, 2021, Adams signed a reserves/futures contract with the Bills.[12] He announced his retirement from the NFL on April 15, 2021,[13] and the Bills waived him on May 4.[14]
