Strengths: Quickness.
Weaknesses: Size. 


Statline: Adibi had 115 tackles, three sacks and a pair of interceptions a year ago.

Technique: Adibi is best utilized as an outside linebacker because of his speed and lack of bulk.


Known Injuries: Tore a tendon in his right biceps during the 2003 season. Shoulder stinger in 2006.


Combine / Workout Assessment: COMING SOON

Analysis: Xavier is among the best linebackers available, although many consider this a weak year for the position, especially at the top. Adibi has the speed teams are looking for in an outside backer, but he still needs to increase his muscle mass to be consistently effective. There are also concerns about his ability to wrap up and tackle. Because of those issues, he will be a better fit for the weak side role, at least early in his career. Adibi will likely be a second-round selection, and if he lands on a team with a solid linebacking corps already in place, it could be a season or two before he becomes a starter.
