Davante Adams

“Going down to New Orleans, that's where I end up with the best meals.”

“I'm from East Palo Alto, California. I grew up with zero dollars.”

“Why any playmaker if you get them the ball early, it helps with their confidence and their mojo and their momentum.”

“Being able to get to the South and get some of that cajun food, that's always good.”

“There were certain routes that I didn't get a chance to run in college.”

“A doctor can't just come out and play because he's smart and understands the game on paper. He can dissect the hell out of it, I'm sure, but you can't just come and be on the field. But for those who have the physical tools, the mental game is everything. And I feel like that's one of my better traits.”

“Once I started realizing I could lose people at the line of scrimmage, and essentially run a route on air. I figured that that was the way to go. So I just put a lot into that, and obviously I made it a big part of who I am as a football player.”

“When you're running a route, timing is everything. You have an internal clock - a timer that goes off in your mind that tells you that you need to be ready for the ball - and you have to get to your spot on time.”

“Obviously, I'm a competitor. I think everybody knows that. Everybody knows what I'm about and how I play football.”

“I've always been able to dunk a little bit; I'm a big basketball guy.”

“I feel like whatever team drafts me I'd fit into because they're going to get the best receiver in the draft. Regardless of if they really need a receiver early or not, the way I'm going to come in and work, they're going to get the guy they hoped they drafted and be excited about it.”

“I don't really think about the personnel too much, I don't have a desired matchup, I just like going out and playing football. I treat everybody the same when I get out there. It doesn't matter if it's Deion Sanders or if it's an undrafted rookie, I'm going to try to go out there and give them work all day.”

“I'm good with the ball in my hand. A great red-zone threat.”

“I'm a confident player.”

“I just trust in myself in what I can do.”

“There's no drill that you can do as a DB to get ready for what I do on the field.”

“I'm not going to be perfect. I'm human.”

“If you go out and practice super hard and then you go play in the game, it's going to be a lot more natural for you. You'll be able to catch the ball and think fast and start making plays, making people miss and turning it into the next phase of the play rather than just catching the ball and being surprised and happy that you caught the ball.”

“Chemistry is not built in one practice or two weeks even. It comes over time.”

“You ask DeAndre Hopkins or you ask Julio Jones who's the best receiver, I don't expect them, even if they did think it was me, I would expect them to say it was them because that's the kind of mentality you should have.”
