He&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t believe a drill or two will change things.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about me having better footwork, it\u2019s about me exercising my right to use my footwork every time I get pressed,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t make it easy on the guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adams went on to show what he meant by &#8220;guarding&#8221; comedian Keegan-Michael Key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis game is a lot more mental than what people make it,&#8221; Adams added, &#8220;and that\u2019s what\u2019s given me a lot of an advantage throughout my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams has produced some of the best receiver numbers in NFL history and he could <a href=\"https:\/\/theramswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/rams\/2025\/06\/21\/rams-wr-davante-adams-could-move-up-these-all-time-nfl-lists\/84257008007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">move up some all-time lists <\/a>this season. He&#8217;s recorded at 1,000 receiving yards every year since 2020 and now gets Matthew Stafford as his quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams didn&#8217;t need Adams, per se, but his addition to the offense makes them a deadly force in the NFC.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CeeDee Lamb, Tyreek Hill, and Davante Adams: \u201cDon\u2019t go out here just doing releases for the internet.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[3979,247,265,240,3978,5430,7,20842,239,1014,58,2444,2611,248,267,246,88,6,35196,245,264,424,9,266],"class_list":{"0":"post-156672","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-adams","9":"tag-american","10":"tag-american-football","11":"tag-angeles","12":"tag-davante","13":"tag-davante-adams","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-hub","16":"tag-los","17":"tag-los-angeles","18":"tag-los-angeles-rams","19":"tag-losangeles","20":"tag-losangelesrams","21":"tag-national","22":"tag-national-sports","23":"tag-neutral","24":"tag-news","25":"tag-nfl","26":"tag-nfl-hub","27":"tag-overall","28":"tag-overall-neutral","29":"tag-rams","30":"tag-sports","31":"tag-sports-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114742548937820908","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
