Who Does Davante Adams Play For?

The New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams was born in East Palo Alto, California, and attended Palo Alto Senior High School in neighboring Palo Alto. The Green Bay Packers took him in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft with the 53rd overall pick. A standout player since his school days, the 6 ft 1 in wideout led his school to the CIF State Championship while playing both as a wide receiver and cornerback. The 3-time First-team All-Pro committed to California State University, Fresno, and played for the Bulldogs from 2011 to 2013. In his 3 years with the team, he was First-team All-MW twice and honored with All-American twice. Furthermore, he was also the recipient of the Paul Warfield Trophy in 2015.

The six-time pro bowler started the first two seasons as a pro somewhat slow as he couldn’t get past the 500-receiving-yard mark. However, he had a breakout season in 2016 when he racked up 997 yards through the air on 75 receptions. Since his third year in 2016, the two-time NFL receiving touchdowns leader has never had a season with less than 997 receiving yards except in 2017. His best statistical years came in 2021 and 2022 when he managed to pile up more than 3k passing yards during that span. Adams’ amazing play has earned him the respect among his peers as he has been voted in the NFL Top 100 every year since 2018.
