David Brent Adams (born June 26, 1952) is a former

offensive tackle. He played college football for the Chattanooga Mocs,[1] where he was a four year starter,[2] and later professionally for the Atlanta Falcons
.

Professional career

Adams was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the 8th round of the 1975 NFL draft and played for the team for three seasons.[3][4] During the second day of the 1978 preseason, Adams suffered a partial tear of ligaments in his knee and was put on the injury list. That meant, that despite him being healthy to play by December, he had to sit the out season due to NFL rules.[5] In August 1979, he was waived by the Falcons along with nine other players.[6] In October the same year, he signed with the Los Angeles Rams.[7]

Personal life

Three of his older brothers played college sports. Larry played basketball at West Georgia, Jerry who was a cross-country runner at Georgia Tech[2] and Bob, who played college football at Chattanooga.[8]
