Final Grade
7.57
He can be a versatile safety at the next level as he can play as a deep range player, up in the box, and can line up in the slot for man coverage. He is a fighter and will look to make a play on the ball until the play is over. He will knock balls out after the catch is made and has tremendous ball skills as he tracks the ball with his eyes then puts himself in position to grab it. He brings it against blockers, he will get up under their pads, and shed them to help disrupt runs or screen plays.
Weaknessess
Even though he isn't afraid to hit anyone, including lineman, his size might be a concern for some teams at the next level. There is a small concern with how he plays if his body can handle it with bigger and stronger players in the NFL. He does need to work on his tackling form as he has a tendency of not breaking down and can leave his feet too early which results in broken tackles. He also can take bad angles on runners or to close space on a receiver. He takes himself out of plays because of it.

Big Picture
Adderley offers a team a safety that has plenty of game experience and value as a player because of his ability to be used all over in a defensive scheme. He is better suited to play as a deep range safety because he is strong at sitting back and reading the quarterback then using his quality sideline-to-sideline range which allows him to get into passing lanes. He is effective inside the box because he can smoothly glide himself into position to help fills gaps or take on blockers to end the run or bounce it into a different direction. He does have experience playing cornerback and his team would line him up in the slot. While I think he should be more of a deep safety, a defensive coordinator can use him as a weapon in his unit. He doesn't give up any effort, regardless if his team is blown out or they are kicking a team's butt. If he can add a little more size while keeping his speed, then he can be an impact player at the next level because of his playmaking ability. His ball skills will help him succeed in the NFL as teams are starting to look create more turnovers over stops in today's passing league. As a rookie he can come in and start for a unit. Even if he doesn't have a designated position, as I said, he can be a weapon and should see plenty of opportunities during his first season. He can be an All-Pro player by his third season if he can have a fast translation to the NFL.

He has the ability to stop on a dime and change his direction with ease. Moves around easy. He is able to twist his body into position to make a play on the ball. Stretches body out. He plays the deep balls well and can track them down. I do have worries about speedsters. He explodes up into a gap or even bring it on to a blocker. He can make up small space quick. He does a great job at keeping his eyes on the ball while making an attempt for the pick.
