Positives: Has a good, solid frame, looks strong... Great burst... Quick off the line of scrimmage... Explosive in the open field, elusive... A playmaker... Very tough to bring down when the ball is in his hands... Willing blocker, does a good job of getting into defenders... Great body control, adjusts well to poorly thrown balls... True big play threat, averaged 17.9 yards per catch and scored 13 touchdowns last year as a senior... Family bloodlines, cousin is Cincinnati Bengals' RB Bernard Scott... Has the ability to return kicks.
Negatives: Drops some easy throws, can make the acrobatic catch one play and then drop the routine pass on the next down... Unpolished... Below-average route runner, rounds his cuts and looks downright sloppy at times... Played against division two competition at Abilene Christian... Originally wanted to play basketball, but was kicked off the Tyler Junior College basketball team in 2006 which brought him to Abilene to play football... Will be a 25 year old rookie, graduated high school in 2004.

(January 17, GBNReport.com) --
Auburn has announced that junior WR Darvin Adams has applied to the NFL to enter the 2011 draft. Adams led the Tigers in receiving this past season
when he had 52 catches for almost a 1,000 yards and seven TDs.
Underclassmen had until Saturday�s deadline to apply for early entry to the draft, but names are still dribbling out as no one is obliged to actually make an announcement at that time.
