Los Angeles Rams receiver Davante Adams has been around the block in the NFL long enough to see a lot of different cornerbacks. And yet, he’s strung together six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and accrued more than 11,000 career receiving yards and 103 total touchdowns.
While he may not be the No. 1 overall receiver in the league, Adams’ style of play separates him from the pack. And it’s why two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson named him one of the hardest receivers to guard in the NFL alongside Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill.
Jones told Whistle Sports that Adams’ “tempo and craftiness” make him a tough man to cover. Johnson would know, too, after playing against Adams three times when Johnson’s Chicago Bears faced Adams when he was on the Green Bay Packers. Johnson also faced Adams on the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023.

Now in L.A., Adams wouldn’t face Johnson unless the two teams saw each other in the postseason. But Adams still has the chance to reach some milestones to continue to cement his NFL legacy.
