Adams, who also did not sign a contract after a try out with the Seattle Seahawks last week, said he will probably sign with the Lions, who hold his draft rights.

"I could be like a Warren Moon or Doug Flutie," Adams told espn.com, referring to the former NFL quarterbacks who played in the CFL. "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."

Adams, who produced a strong season at Oregon in 2015 and three very productive seasons at Eastern Washington before transferring to Oregon, was not selected in the 2016 NFL draft. NFL scouts and coaches cited Adams size and questioned whether his skills would successfuly transfer to a pro-style offense in the NFL.
