Davante Adams is an American professional football player. He was born in Palo Alto, California on December 24, 1992. He plays the position of a wide receiver in the NFL. Over the years he has made a name for himself as being one of the league’s best receivers.
Adams was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 2nd round of the 2014 NFL draft. With the Packers, Adams was able to forge good chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback at the time. This strong bond helped Adams and Rodgers in their games, helping Adams to lead the league in receiving touchdowns in the 2020 NFL season. Adams was named to the All-Pro First-team twice and to the Pro Bowl 5 times during his 8 season tenure with the Packers.
Aaron Rodgers departed from the team in 2023 after Adams left the Packers in 2022. Aaron Rodgers went on to be traded to the New York Jets, leaving no chances for himself and Adams to play together in the near future.
In the 2022 offseason, the Packers were unable to draw up a suitable contract extension for Adams as a result of which he ended his career with the Packers and joined the Las Vegas Raiders alongside quarterback Derek Carr. Adams led the league in receiving touchdowns yet again and gained himself a spot in the Pro Bowl for the 6th time. Adams was traded to the Raiders for two draft picks of which one was a first round pick and the other was a second round pick.
Which Team Does Davante Adams Play For?
Davante Adams plays for the Las Vegas Raiders which is part of the American Football Conference West Division in the NFL. Adams’ first season was extremely successful, with him leading the league in touchdowns received with Derek Carr as his quarterback. Being able to assimilate into a new team and forge successful chemistry with a new quarterback stands testament to the fact that Adams is a great receiver. He completed his first season with the Raiders with 100 receptions covering 1,516 receiving yards, 14 touchdowns and just one fumble.
The 2023-24 season will see Adams being paired with Jimmy Garoppolo, a seasoned quarterback who has replaced Carr. Going into year 10 of his career in the NFL, Adams aims to fulfill team accomplishments rather than focusing on individual accomplishments. Adams believes that he has established himself and expects himself to play at an All-Pro level but it would mean nothing to him if the entire team does not see success. He is presently focused on building chemistry with the Raiders’ new quarterback.
It will be a pleasure to see how Adams adjusts to a new quarterback and whether he is able to forge the same bond as he has done so with previous quarterbacks. If they do manage to form good chemistry, Adams and Garoppolo would be amongst the best duos in the league, a threat that could shatter opposition defenses.
