The 37-year-old quarterback appeared in 16 games for the Rams during the 2024 season, throwing for 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions while leading Los Angeles into the postseason. The former Georgia Bulldog is entering his fifth season under head coach Sean McVay and 16th of his NFL career since being selected No. 1 overall in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n

NFL veteran Davante Adams, 32, signed with the Rams in the offseason after he was released by the Jets. Adams finished last season with 85 receptions for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns despite playing with multiple starting quarterbacks. He has recorded 1,000-plus receiving yards six times throughout his NFL career and has totaled 103 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

McVay\u2019s respect for Adams was evident from the start, as he highlighted the All-Pro receiver\u2019s film<\/a> in a team meeting shortly after his arrival.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I think is really cool to be able to witness is the respect that you can feel they have for one another,\u201d McVay told reporters.\u00a0“… Matthew’s got such a great way of being able to connect and communicate. And it’s the same thing with Davante.<\/p>\n

“Those guys have such a high level of understanding of what they want. … It’s been cool to watch.”<\/p>\n

With both players entering the latter stages of their careers, McVay\u2019s focus remains on maximizing what they can do together \u2014 and looking to build on last year’s playoff success.<\/p>\n
