Davante Adams

Davante Adams is an NFL wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams as of September 20, 2026. The Rams’ current roster lists him as an active player wearing No. 17, standing 6 feet 1 inch and weighing 204 pounds. He was born on December 24, 1992, in East Palo Alto, California, and attended Palo Alto High School before playing college football at Fresno State.

At Fresno State, Adams became one of the program’s most accomplished receivers. He earned Mountain West Freshman of the Year honors in 2012, received All-America recognition in both of his college seasons, won the 2013 Paul Warfield Award and established Fresno State receiving marks before entering the NFL Draft. His college profile emphasized strong hands, body control, leaping ability and effectiveness as a blocker.

The Green Bay Packers selected Adams in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft with the 53rd overall pick. He developed into a premier boundary receiver in Green Bay, later earning repeated Pro Bowl selections and Associated Press first-team All-Pro honors. The Las Vegas Raiders acquired him in March 2022, and he subsequently played for the New York Jets before joining the Rams. His style combines precise route running, reliable hands, physicality at the catch point and sophisticated footwork against press coverage.
