No, Mario Williams did. Adams was 39th in the nation in sacks last year. Averaged .71 a game.

Edit: Oops, Hupp is right, he was 30th in total sacks. 39th in Sacks/Game.

I've come to like Phil's lists and think EA messed up a little bit. This is just a little perspective on EA's list

Only thing Birdine is good at is running his mouth, and then not performing when the big game arrives. See 2004 Orange Bowl.

I don't think any of these guys are in Phil Steele's Top 10.

The game will most likely have LaMarr Woodley listed as an OLB. They had that last year.

One thing to consider with Ellis is he was able to do this playing opposite of Darryl Tapp who played on the blindside of the QB. Ellis is probably the best athlete on Tech's defense and should have a great season.
