He threw for 2,424 yards and 30 touchdowns. He completed more than 60
percent of his passes. He led his team to three straight national
championships as a starter from 2000 to 2002.
He stands 6'4" tall, weighs 216 pounds. He runs the 40-yard dash in
4.8 seconds and has a cannon of an arm.
No. He isn't Carson Palmer; he isn't Byron Leftwich; he isn't Dave
Ragone, Rex Grossman, Kyle Boller or Chris Simms; he isn't even Ken
Dorsey.
He is Rob Adamson, a quarterback from Mount Union College, a small
Division-III school in Ohio. Adamson did not have the same college
experience as the other big-name quarterback prospects, but his goals
are the same in this month leading up to the NFL Draft: Get selected
by a team and begin establishing a long and prosperous career.
"You can't find all the things Rob has," said Ron Todd, Adamson's
agent. "He has all the intangibles."
Adamson has the demeanor of a kid who is going to be the first player
selected in the draft. He is not cocky, but rather confident. He
knows he can play with the best and knows he has all the tools.
"If there was a book written on how to play quarterback, I play it
that exact way," Adamson said.
