Davante Adams- The 6 foot 2 wide receiver from Palo Alto California had one of the best seasons that any freshman receiver has ever had. He ended up finishing the year with 102 receptions for 1,312 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. Even in today's game of run and shoot offenses Adams numbers were still very impressive. Adams is a very fluid and effortless runner and uses his very good hands to always catch the football out in front of his body. Catching the ball out in front of his body allows him to be able to see the whole field and use his ability to make defenders miss tackles. Adams is not the fastest receiver in the world but makes up for that by running very precise routes and separating himself from his defenders. He also has the ability to be physical with defenders because of his size. He still has a lot of room to continue to grow and mature into a truly special receiver. Adams reminds me a lot of a receiver in the NFL named Brandon Marshall. I use this comparison because of all the similarities that they have to each others games. I strongly believe that Adams has the opportunity to be a very successful receiver for a number of years, he just has to continue to work hard.
