Film Room: Underdog Adrian Colbert a playmaker at FS for 49ers

March 20, 2018
Eric Crocker

Coming out of the University of Miami as a 7th-round pick, there were little to no expectations for Adrian Colbert to make an impact on the 49ers' roster. In fact, one could argue that undrafted rookie free agent Lorenzo James had more hype heading into the 2017 season than Colbert did.


Like Jimmie Ward, there were immediately questions on what position Colbert would play. At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, Colbert fit the mold of what the 49ers look for at cornerback. His 4.40 40-yard dash speed at his size made him worth a flier.

When you are drafted in the 7th round, you need a little luck to get on the field. Eric Reid, Jimmie Ward and Jaquiski Tartt were the projected safeties heading into the season. All three of those guys sustained injuries at some point during the year, including season-enders to Ward and Tartt.



In Week 10, Colbert received his first career NFL start, and the rookie did not disappoint. As I stated in the Ward write up, Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas set the bar high for the single-high safeties across the league with his ability to play sideline to sideline, as well as make his presence felt around the line of scrimmage. Colbert flashed those same traits.



The first thing that stood out to me was his ability to make plays around the line of scrimmage from a deep safety position. It started in the preseason when he came downhill on Chargers running back Kenjon Barner, jarring the ball loose.

The forced fumbles around the line of scrimmage didn’t stop there.



In Week 14 vs. the Houston Texans, Colbert was able to dislodge the ball from All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Giants second-year receiver Sterling Shepard was on the wrong end of one of these crushing blows as well. Colbert using instincts came from a deep safety position to stop Shepard for a minimal gain.

On several occasions Colbert was able to separate the ball from receivers downfield as well. His speed and instincts allow him to correctly diagnose where the ball is going, and use his speed and hard-hitting abilities to knock the ball away from receivers.

Against the Texans on a broken play, he made up for a miscommunication by 49er defensive backs, and was able contest a pass intended for former 49ers wide receiver DeAndrew White.

The one thing that Colbert didn’t log into the stat book was an interception. He had a near interception in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but a cast on the hand of his broken thumb made it difficult for him to collect his first career pick. A positive you can take away from that play is, once again, he was in position to take the ball away.

Fit with 49ers:

With Jimmie Ward’s fully guaranteed contract of over $8 million, it will be an uphill battle for Colbert to be named starter heading into the 2018 season. His film showed everything you would like to see from a single-high safety. And the addition of Richard Sherman—and him sharing his knowledge of the system and secrets to breaking down film and understanding route concepts—will only help Colbert in his progression.

nm lol

 

[junglejim]

Jonathan cooper. He suck or not?

 

[ii flash ii]

Talked to my boy whose a cowboys fan... He said “He’s solid but not a pro bowl player”

 

[red81]

Jonathan cooper. He suck or not?

He was terrible in Arizona and Cleveland. He might be decent here. He's really athletic; quick, light feet; lateral agility is impressive. He might find a home in Shanny's OZ scheme.

but I'm not holding my breath lol.

 

[red81]

 

[jewelknows]

Bro if he comes back healthy from his injury! He's just too smart a player too. I can't wait.

 

[moe200069]

adrian colbert is a bad man...cuzz is out there like a heat seeking missile. add to that the fact that he can actually make plays on the ball without getting called for personal foul penalties or PI, he makes up for the fact that we missed out on karl joseph from a few drafts back

 

[49ersaaron8]

Karl Jospeh a strong Safety whos had a pretty underwhelming first couple years. So we should t be too hung up on missing on him.

 

[red81]

the hoodie got his eyes on our guy

 

[niketalker23]

If you follow Colbert on IG Colbert hasn’t stopped working all offseason, dude is grinding.

If you follow Colbert on IG Colbert hasn’t stopped working all offseason, dude is grinding.

Does he look noticeably bigger?? Cuz he could use like 10 to 15 lbs on that frame.

 

[49ersaaron8]

Seattle brought Dontae Johnson in on a visit.

He’s so bad

 

[Los Angeles]

please take him lol

 

[red81]

I heard Reid hasn't even had a visit. I hope dude saved money from his rookie contract.

 

[Fozz]

I heard Reid hasn't even had a visit. I hope dude saved money from his rookie contract.

That really sucks.

Do you think the Niners would bring him back?

 

[heatseeker23]

Do you think the Niners would bring him back?

No.

Also Frankie G da dolphin

 

[aNYone]

Do you think the Niners would bring him back?

If they do it’d come from Jed.

Lynch isn’t my dude but for some reason I feel like he wasn’t with kneeling either.

Papa was trying to be objective about it last week and said there was a bit of a dropoff and being lost in coverage, but Idk man. It seems more than that.
He said wait a few weeks, but man it's awfully quiet.

 

[illvine]

Nah **** that. Eric Reid should be on a team.

 

[heatseeker23]

As soon as a team has significant injuries in the secondary they’ll be ringing his phone real quick like
