Davante Adams was first brought in by the Las Vegas Raiders to assist college classmate Derek Carr. To put it mildly, the fans and front office were subjected to “torture” as the expensive pair failed to “get it together.”
However, after the quarterback was cut, the cunning 6-1 wide receiver did not “Billie Jean” the circumstances. No, Adams stayed on to give a young team a couple “Thriller” moments.
With Gardner Minshew II at quarterback, Adams already has one touchdown, five receptions (ranked fifth), and eighty-six yards (8th best) this season. In a 26-23 Raiders victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2, the 11-year veteran showed no signs of slowing down either by scoring an incredible 30-yard toe-tapping touchdown that enraged the obstinate Maxx Crosby.
When the Raiders practiced on Wednesday, Week 3, in anticipation of the demolished Carolina Panthers, ESPN’s beat reporter Paul Gutierrez inquired about the incredible catch. Adams also did not mince words.
Adams said, “Those are the ones you just have to be great in the moment and make it.” “Simulating that is difficult because there will be a lot of falling to the ground.” We enjoy staying up late as much as we can. However, you do occasionally get them. And you’d better use the throw you get to make the play.Creating plays spreads easily.
Concerning the likenesses to the King of Pop?
“No, I haven’t seen them. I was a huge fan once,” Adams said. “I haven’t watched in a while, but I used to watch constantly.”
After the NFL on ESPN social media platforms ran with a Michael Jackson meme honoring the most recent highlight reel catch, Gutierrez essentially had to ask Adams for a statement. Adams had nine receptions for 110 yards and that incredible six-point touchdown at the end of the game.
However, Adams doesn’t think it’s worth frequently revisiting previous highlights. The esteemed veteran moves on to the next play.
I don’t watch it all that often, really. After 20 viewings, it remains unchanged, according to Adams. Although I prefer not to dwell on my accomplishments, it’s always exciting to have one of those. Replays are for you, your friends, and everyone else. During practice, we make grabs where we are diving on the ground. The majority of it is hidden from them.
Adams went on, “You go out there and get maybe five to ten opportunities to show people.” But contrary to popular belief, it’s a little more routine. While it appears impressive on replay, getting the toes down and such isn’t always simple when it’s happening in real time. However, we prefer to always come down with it in order to catch that ball.
