After tryouts in Washington and Seattle were unsuccessful, former Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams appears to be headed to Canada.
Adams, who attended rookie minicamp tryouts each of the last two weekends but was not signed by either team, told ESPN that he’d like to prove what he can do in the Canadian Football League.
“I could be like a Warren Moon or Doug Flutie,” he said. “All I need is a chance. . . . If they can stop looking at my height and give me a chance they’d get a teammate with a lot of energy and a great leader.”
The BC Lions own the 5-foot-11 Adams’ CFL rights. TSN reports that Adams is in talks with the team and is expected to compete to be the third-string quarterback as a rookie.
