Columbia Lions' Towering OL Anchor from 2011 Era
Jeff Adams, a 6'7", 305-pound offensive tackle for the Columbia Lions, brought NFL-caliber size and raw power to the Ivy League line in the early 2010s, earning a pro shot with the Jets after college; his differentiator was elite length and physicality that overwhelmed FCS defenders, though limited scheme fit kept him from starring stats-wise—no sacks allowed in key starts per scouting notes. Now 36 and retired, he's no current prospect, but his story highlights Columbia's pipeline for developmental giants perfect for teams seeking project tackles with verified measurables.
