Professional career
Adams was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the eighth round of the 1975 NFL draft and played for the team for three seasons.[3][4] During the second day of the 1978 preseason, Adams suffered a partial tear of ligaments in his knee and was put on the injury list. That meant, that despite him being healthy to play by December, he had to sit the out season due to NFL rules.[5] In August 1979, he was waived by the Falcons along with nine other players.[6] In October the same year, he signed with the Los Angeles Rams.[7]
