"Rams receiver Davante Adams knows what it's like to come close. The 12th-year pro played in four NFC championship games with the Green Bay Packers. And lost every time. "It feels almost like a mythical thing to me at this point," he said of reaching the Super Bowl. "You do everything you can to get there and it's been so hard and I've been working so hard at it.""
"After stints with the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets, Adams signed a two-year contract with the Rams that included about $25 million in guarantees. It took a third of the season to establish a consistent connection with Stafford, but Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches despite sitting out three games because of a hamstring injury."
"His returned for the wild-card victory over the Carolina Panthers, and had a key catch last Sunday during the winning drive against the Chicago Bears. "I started off with a great experience with the Packers and didn't have anything else to compare it to so you don't, in a sense, take it for granted," Adams said of participating in the playoffs. "Being back in a position where you're with a great team and in a great situation, you definitely have a greater appreciation"
Davante Adams lost four NFC championship games with the Green Bay Packers and now has another opportunity with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC title game against the Seattle Seahawks. Adams is a 12th-year veteran who led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches this season despite missing three games with a hamstring injury. He signed a two-year contract with roughly $25 million guaranteed and took part of the season to build chemistry with quarterback Matthew Stafford. Adams returned for the wild-card win and made a key catch in the divisional victory, positioning him as a potential X-factor.
