Seriously, they are..this smells of one of Tannenbaum's "I'm smarter than any of you" moves. http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/04/10/promising-columbia-prospect-works-out-for-jets/
John Witkowski says hello. I was at Columbia when Witkowski played QB for us to the tune of about 4 wins in 3 years. The Detroit Lions picked him in the 6th round of the '84 draft and he predictably did nothing for them because Ivy League Competition is almost as far below the NFL level as Pee Wee Football and the Columbia Lions sucked balls with Witkowski at QB anyway.
Subdivision east coast academic driven conference. No surprise it isn't typically an NFL factory. With that said: Marcellus Wiley(Columbia) Ryan Fitzpatrick(Harvard) Matt Birk(Harvard) Jay Fielder(Dartmouth) Eric Johnson(Yale) Kevin Booth(Cornell) Seth Payne (Cornell) Bob Lally(Cornell) As for Adams, I haven't seen him play but I've read good things. He is said to have good feet,long arms & a frame to put on alot of weight. He will likely be available in the 6th/7th round & would warrant a selection.
Let's understand this is a local "visit" which isn't included in the allowed 30 per team... just saying.

Adams would be a project, that’s for sure. But he has the size and athleticism to (potentially) make something of himself. As a pass blocker, he has great feet and very solid pass blocking technique. However, he will be susceptible to bull-rushing at his current size. As for run blocking, he is solid, but by no means a road-grader. He will need to bulk up in order to compensate for his deficiencies. He doesn't look the part of an NFL offensive lineman, but with an NFL strength program he should be able to bulk up quite nicely. As for Witowski and Ivy League level of play, I would argue that the unfortunate experience of attending Columbia during the 1980's would have jaded any fan. Witowski was the greatest statistical quarterback that Columbia ever had, and while he didn't pan out with the Lions, how many late round QB's actually ever pan out? The Ivy League isn't the SEC. It is not even the ACC or Conference USA. But as in every league, there are players who rise above the rest. Jeff Adams, a 3 time First Team All-Ivy player, is one such player.
I remember posting that the Jets interviewed him and another guy at the East-West shrine practices... maybe Rishaw Johnson...
