GREEN BAY, Wis. – Davante Adams is third in the NFL with 90 receptions and 1,204 yards tied for 10th with seven touchdowns this year.
Those are really good numbers. Just not for Adams.
“He’s mad right now that other guys’ stat lines are better than him,” receivers coach Jason Vrable said after Thursday’s practice.
That’s not to suggest Adams is selfish and wants personal accolades over team success. It’s that his goals – individual and team – are so lofty. Greatness is Adams’ expectation; nothing else will suffice.
“Everything to him is to press himself and be better than everybody who’s ever played the game,” Vrable continued.
