Draft

Adam was widely considered the second-best defensive tackle in the 2021 NFLHC Draft behind Hawaii's Sila Lotomau, and was expected to be a first-round pick. Both of those played out as the Colts drafted him 22nd overall, the second defensive tackle taken after Lotomau who went 11th to the Cincinnati Bengals.
