Colts sign WR Kris Adams after OLB Kevin Eagan walks out

I remember having high hopes for small-college prospect Kevin Eagan, but that ended when he told the Colts he was leaving the team and giving up football. They agreed to his request and cut him.

To replace him, they signed WR Kris Adams (6034/194/4.43pd in 2011). Undrafted coming out of UTEP despite going 47-1,070-14 receiving as a senior, Adams was signed by the Bears and also spent time with Minnesota and St. Louis.

The favorite target of current Colts QB prospect Trevor Vittatoe, Adams is a hard working kid of high character who has decent hands and great natural speed. But that's where the good news ends. He's not tough, doesn't win battles both at the chuck and struggles for the ball, is a rudimentary route runner, offers little after the catch, is not much of a blocker and had almost no kick return experience. If he makes the team it will be because he was so stunning a deep threat, they just couldn't cut him.
