Adrian Amos (Penn St) looks legit. Had decent measurables at the combine (4.56 40-yd dash, 35.5 inch vert, top performer in the 20 and 60 yd shuttle) and he reminds me of a bigger Troy Polamalu.

I haven't noticed his name around a lot and it looks like he is projected to go somewhere in the 3rd-5th round range.

Does anyone have more info on this guy? Looks like a solid 4th round pick if possible.
 
STRENGTHS: Well-built with good height, length and overall frame for the position, displaying adequate bulk and strength. Takes aggressive angles and explodes downhill while also showing the start/stop quickness to recover and alter his path mid-momentum. Very smooth in coverage and plays the football extremely well.

Soft hands and athleticism to adjust to the football for an interception. A bit of a stretch, but he might be a bump-and-run corner if he really improves his footwork and technique. Versatility is too much to ignore and could continue his climb up draft boards with strong pre-draft workouts. Returned kicks his freshman and sophomore years at Penn State (12 kick returns for 236 yards for a 19.7-yard average).

WEAKNESSES: Sound and quality player, but doesn't make many big plays. Misses some open-field tackles. Does not wrap up when tackling and usually leads with a shoulder. May be too slow to be a full-time starter on the corner. Not real smooth and will lose a little in transition. Will have to learn to come up faster and wrap up better at the next level.

Pro Day Results
40-yard dash: 4.37 and 4.4 seconds
Bench press: 21 reps of 225 pounds
Analysis
Strengths
Athletic with good range. Fluid in space with easy backpedal and smooth hips. Has ability to turn, run and recover when ball is in the air. Good route recognition. Trustworthy in coverage and is rarely out of position. Can line up defense. Offered versatility in coverage. Played some slot corner in sub packages. Outstanding in zone coverage at Penn State. Can crowd receivers and closes throwing windows. Allowed just 3.9 yards per target in 2014. Has twitch to trigger and close on throws.
Weaknesses
Doesn't display great sense of urgency in run support. Takes suspect angles against run from high to low and when lined up near line of scrimmage. Will throw body at runner, but carries no sting behind pads, sliding down target and finishing tackle near ankles at times. Average instincts. Hyper-focused on responsibility and seems unwilling to take chances. Would rather see it than sense it.
Draft Projection
Round 3 or 4

Bottom Line
Amos checks all the boxes when it comes to strong football intelligence, a willingness to digest tape and cover skills. The biggest question is whether or not he can fit with a coordinator looking for playmakers and chance-takers. He must prove that he can play with greater overlap. Amos' scheme versatility is a big plus, but I wouldn't ask him to play inside the box very often.

I have Amos as one of my picks in my mock below. Like him a lot.
 
Interesting how much faster he got from the combine to his pro day lol

I'd guess he's closer to 4.5, not from watching him play but just the nature of pro days
