Signing Davante Adams this offseason was the second-biggest move by the Rams after the retention of quarterback Matthew Stafford.
In Adams, the Rams added a playmaker they haven't truly seen in the offense for a long time. While Cooper Kupp was great and Puka Nacua is an ascending star, neither has had the consistency that Adams has throughout his career. He is a do-it-all pass-catcher who former NFL receiver Pierre Garçon says will become a "security blanket" in the Rams offense.
"It gives them a security blanket. Third down, they're going to go to him. Early and often, they're going to get the ball in his hands so that he can make an impact in the game," Garçon said. "It's not going to be hard for those guys to get on the same page — Matthew Stafford, Davante Adams and [head coach] Sean McVay because it's all going to basically be one-on-one, and what can they draw up to have fun and score touchdowns?"
Adams has been a prolific pass-catcher in his 11-year career. He's caught 957 total receptions in 164 games with 11,844 receiving yards and 103 touchdowns. While Adams is 32 and will be 33 by the end of the season, he proved to be productive even in adverse situations after going from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Jets and putting up another 1,000 yards despite missing three games.
Now, he gets arguably the best quarterback he's played for in Stafford with one of the best offensive minds in McVay calling his plays. Adams will be more than a security blanket, though.
