Mayock: Kelly, 49ers need to take chance on Vernon Adams

A college football All-Star game for NFL hopefuls, the East-West Shrine Game took place Saturday in St. Petersburg, Fla.

One of the bona fide standout performers was Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., who caught the attention of many playing for the West squad.

Analyst Mike Mayock, who called the game, projected a landing spot for Adams, saying, "If you're Chip Kelly, you're taking a look at Vernon Adams and seeing what he can do."

Half of Adams' completions Saturday went for touchdowns, as the Ducks passer finished 6-of-9 for 191 yards and three TDs.

His 93-yard passing score was recorded as the longest play in Shrine Game history.
