Man, well, that didn’t take long. Despite the losing record and bevy of distractions surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders, Davante Adams has flourished. Playing for his childhood team in Sin City, Adams is having a historical season that’s landing him in legendary company in the record books.
Expectations were massive for Adams after general manager Dave Ziegler swung a blockbuster trade. Yes, the team has fallen short of expectations, obviously. Even so, Adams has been must-see television for Raider Nation. It seems that every time Adams has a great performance, he sets some sort of record. On Sunday, against the San Francisco 49ers, it was no different for the more-than-likely All-Pro.
Davante Adams has recorded 8 games of 100 receiving yards or more
Adams has posted some eye-popping numbers this season. He’s now posted eight games where he amassed 100 yards or more through the air. It’s an impressive feat, truly. He actually surpassed Tim Brown, Art Powell, and Warren Wells; the trio has seven games to their credit, each with a similar accolade. It’s no easy task, but it goes to show the magnitude of Adams’ feat. It’s some nice company and once again goes to show the greatness of past Raiders wide receivers.
