Green Bay Packers: 4 Players deserving of Pro Bowl nod
By Joe Kipp
WR Davante Adams
It’s no longer far-fetched to label Davante Adams an elite receiver. What he’s been able to do on the field this season has been nothing short of fantastic. Already over 1,000 yards for the first time in his career, Adams is showing fans why he earned a new contract extension this past offseason.
Adams has double-digit touchdowns (12) for the third-straight season, and could challenge for most receiving touchdowns by the end of 2018. He’s been Aaron Rodgers’ go-to man the entire year, and currently has 151 targets through 14 games.
As for his current statistics, Adams has already racked up 100 receptions for 1,315 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s already reached career-bests for receptions and yards, and is currently on pace for a final stat line of 114 receptions for 1,502 yards and 14 touchdowns by season’s end. Adams needs 13 touchdowns to top his previous career-high of 12 in 2016.
Adams and Rodgers have one of the best connections in the NFL, and we’ve seen it grow stronger and stronger as the season has worn on. A perfect example of this was the back-shoulder touchdown catch that Adams scored in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings. Adams should easily garner a Pro Bowl berth.
