Mike Adams (born March 10, 1990) is an American football offensive tackle who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Ohio State. Adams was considered to be one of the best offensive tackles of his draft class.
Adams attended Dublin Coffman High School in Dublin, Ohio, where he was an All-State selection as a junior and senior. Regarded as a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Adams was listed as the No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in the class of 2008.
After Adams tested positive for drug use at the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine the Pittsburgh Steelers initially removed him from their draft board. Determined to be selected by his favorite team, Adams met with head coach Mike Tomlin, general manager Kevin Colbert, and team owner Art Rooney II. After professing his love for the Steelers and willingness to rectify his mistake, Adams was reconsidered by the historically strict franchise. He was selected in the second round (pick 56) of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On May 8, 2012, the Steelers signed Adams to a four-year, $3.54 million contract with a signing bonus of $1.01 million and $1.01 million guaranteed. Adams played in his first career game on September 9, 2012, against the Denver Broncos. On October 21, 2012, he received his first career start in a 24–17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He then started the next 5 games. He finished his rookie season with 6 starts in 10 games.
On September 8, 2013, Adams started the Steelers' season opener against the Tennessee Titans. After four consecutive starts to begin the season, he was benched due to ineffective play. He finished his second season with 10 starts in 15 games.
