He has 34-inch arms, a 30-inch vertical jump and can cover 40 yards in 4.6 seconds — three reasons Smith touted him as "one of my favorite players in this whole (draft) class.
For now, at least, Adibi is an understudy to starting outside linebackers Morlon Greenwood and Zac Diles. Adibi will make an immediate contribution on special teams, because Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer considers nobody exempt from that facet of the game. Texans coach Gary Kubiak calls Adibi a potential training camp surprises.
"There are some things you can’t teach in football,” Kubiak said. "There are instincts that you can’t teach. He really has a nose for the ball, seems like good things happen to him.”
Adibi wears No. 52. If you’re number impaired or too cheap to spring for a game program, you can generally find him by looking for the ball. As a senior, Adibi was the leading tackler on the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense. His 40-yard interception return for a touchdown secured a 30-16 victory over Boston College in the ACC title game

I didn't knew he was Nigerian, so now that makes three on our team, Amobi, N.D, and now Adibi.
I hope he can contribute early in the season on defense. I like this pick, especially where we got him, and feel he could be the one of the draft biggest steals.
