Los Angeles Rams receiver Davante Adams is a technician on the field. He’s built an incredible career for himself on three other teams and now joins a Rams squad looking to push for the Super Bowl in 2025.
And over his 11-year career, Adams gets a lot of questions from young wideouts about preparation and drills they should run to get better at the position. But Adams doesn’t believe a drill or two will change things.
He told a crowd at Fanatics Fest this week that the one thing receivers need to focus on is their footwork at the line of scrimmage.
“It’s not about me having better footwork, it’s about me exercising my right to use my footwork every time I get pressed,” he said. “I don’t make it easy on the guy.”
Adams went on to show what he meant by “guarding” comedian Keegan-Michael Key.
“This game is a lot more mental than what people make it,” Adams added, “and that’s what’s given me a lot of an advantage throughout my career.”
Adams has produced some of the best receiver numbers in NFL history and he could move up some all-time lists this season. He’s recorded at 1,000 receiving yards every year since 2020 and now gets Matthew Stafford as his quarterback.
The Rams didn’t need Adams, per se, but his addition to the offense makes them a deadly force in the NFC.
