Davant Adams believes he shouldn’t just be in the best-wide-receiver-in-the-NFL conversation. He believes he should start and end the conversation.
Green Bay Packers three-time pro bowler Ad Dumse made his case once again on Thursday.
First, he came out on top with a 34-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, which pushed the Packers to 6-2 in the middle of the season. Adams had 10 catches for 173 yards and his league-leading eighth touchdown reception.
Then, as politely as possible, he made his postgame comment:
When asked if he’s the best wide receiver in the league, Adams said: “I think it’s fair to say. I don’t think he’s arrogant. He’s just confident. I think, obviously, I What I have done and what I do. Continuing to do is going to prove to anyone with whom he is not on the board. “
So far this season the evidence is:
-
Adams is the first player to record at least 10 catches and three 150-yard touchdowns in the first eight games of his season, according to research from the Elias Sports Bureau.
-
He is the second player in NFL history to record 10 catches, 150 yards and three touchdowns in a single season, joining Calvin Johnson (2012). Johnson’s Detroit Lions went 0-3 in those games. The Packers are 3-0 in the Adams games.
Adams has played just six of the Packers’ eight games this season. He missed weeks 3 and 4 due to a hamstring injury. The start of the Packers’ offense is that it lacks weapons outside of Adams and Aaron Jones is running back, who returned Thursday after a two-game absence due to a calf injury and was a yy yard of total offense. As long as quarterback Aaron Rogers has Adams, it doesn’t matter.
Rogers has completed 76% of his goals towards Adams this season. Adams has more completions () 53) and touchdowns (eight) than the rest of the Packers combined (comple1 completions and six touchdowns, two of which came on Thursday Marquis Valdes-Scantling).
“He’s such a great player,” said Rodgers, who completed 25 of 31 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns. “He’s tough on matchups. He’s been able to make so much space with his release method, and he’s got enough speed to get to the top, so you can’t play low and expect certain routes. We hit him with a lot of things. Tonight I hit him on the first possession with a go ball that he made a nice arrangement.On the last possession, we were on an inward path.He is very talented.He can do all this, handle himself properly. Enjoy playing with. A special person. “
Rogers and Adams were particularly sharp on deep deep wounds against the 49ers. Rogers made the best match of his career with four completions traveling 25 or more yards in the bet and three of them were in Adams.
“While you have two great players like Aaron Rogers and Davante Adams and Line giving you time to hang in your pockets and throw a little deeper, those were some of the dime balls that Aaron Devente was throwing.”
Adams has received 675 yards in six games this season. If he maintains that momentum in the remaining eight games, he will finish with 1,575 yards. Received the highest 1,386 yards in his career, which came in 2018. In the year 2019, twice, he finished with 997 yards in one season.
“I really believe, based on the work I’ve put in [and] “I have a connection between my quarterbacks,” Adams said, adding that he kept presenting his case, often noting that he wanted to come up with confidence but not arrogance.
“It’s not just a matter of running the road for me. If the line isn’t protected or if the quarterback doesn’t look your way or if the other receivers don’t do their part to pull the defenders, there’s nothing I can do. So, at the end of the day, I’ll tell you I will say, yes, absolutely, I think I am the best wide receiver of the game, but there are many things that can make such a statement in me. “
