Vernon Adams is looking to impress at the NFL Combine this weekend, but an intriguing possibility of landing in San Francisco with Chip Kelly is fueling the fire this weekend.

Former Oregon Ducks Quarterback Vernon Adams walked the walk at Oregon and led the team to a 9-4 record including putting up 31 points in the Alamo Bowl and throwing for three touchdowns in the Senior Bowl. On Thursday he had the chance to talk the talk – and he did. He spoke with the media and said disussed the San Francisco 49ers Offense and said he could call out over 80 percent of the Offensive plays as they happened.

Chip Kelly’s Offense would be intriguing with Vernon Adams at the helm. He is a guy who already knows the system having played at Oregon, in a system that was initially designed by Kelly when he was their Head Coach.

"I watched (Kelly’s offense) in Philly last year and pretty much 80-90 percent of the plays I would see I could call out that we run at Oregon, so I think I could really come in and run that offense, too.Getting a sneak preview of Vernon Adams on RB day https://t.co/xZkOCIb9DH— Dylan DeSimone (@DeSimone_80) February 26, 2016Vernon Adams on NFL Combine Media Day Talking About Chip Kelly (via NFL.com)The comfort level would be a great fit for Adams to move into.
