He has actually balanced 113 catches for 1,481 lawns and 12 TDs the previous 3 seasons.
Raiders receiver Jakobi Meyers stated he did not see the play, as he was running a path on the other side of the field.

” It’s a like an entire brand-new world now since you go from stating, ‘How can I not mess this up?’ to ‘How can I put my own taste on it and type of sauce it up more to fit me and utilize my imagination within the paths and the plan to make it that far better?'” Adams stated at the time. “Instead of simply remembering my task, it goes to take it to another level.”
Adams likewise spoke about having fun with a brand-new quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo after the Raiders carried on from nine-year starter Derek Carr, Adams’ quarterback in college at Fresno State.
” He’s a terrific person, simple to speak with, extremely coachable from the coaches to him and listening to my feedback and the manner in which I see the video game, too,” Adams stated of Garoppolo after the very first camp practice. “Today was extremely efficient, a great deal of discussion out there, and we simply got to remain on that and continue with it to get to where we wish to be, certainly, come Week 1.”
