| Xavier Adibi LB Virginia Tech #11 |
|
Ht:
6'2
Wt: 232
| |
| Strengths: |
| A tremendous natural athlete. Excels in coverage and shows good ball skills. Great in pursuit. The type of player that is always around the ball. Broke out with a huge senior campaign. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Undersized. Lacks ideal strength. Doesn't have the size or strength to shed blocks. Had surgery to repair a torn biceps in 2003. Was hampered by a shoulder injury in 2006, but missed minimal time. Not nearly as effective against the run as in coverage. Speed is average at best. |
| Comments:
|
| Adibi was a productive college linebacker that NFL skills in certain areas, but the lack of size is a major drawback. Its enough of a concern for certain teams to drop him far down their draft board because he simply doesn't fit into their scheme. All things considered, its a wonder he was so productive because he just doesn't test well. However, you can't ignore his production. He's still a legitimate second round, but he'll need to land in the right system to find success. |
