1. Davante Adams

Davante Adams was just voted to the Pro Bowl for the first time. A year after going as an injury replacement, Adams will now go as first choice. And with good reason.

Adams is closing in on something no receiver has ever accomplished in Green Bay: 100 catches, 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns.

That’s an amazing feat. Especially considering the receivers that have come through Green Bay. Sterling Sharpe, Jordy Nelson, Antonio Freeman, Donald Driver, not even Hall-of-Famer James Lofton can claim they ever had a season like that in a Packers uniform.

Adams will have his hands full this week with Jets offseason addition Trumaine Johnson. I’m certain Adams will be more than up to the task. Adams has faced the best each team has to offer week after week and still come out ahead.

Whether the quarterback is Brett Hundley, Aaron Rodgers or should it come to it, DeShone Kizer, Adams goes about his business and gets results.

Adams has used the 2018 season to tell the NFL and anyone who’s watching he’s a true number one receiver. While he may still not get the credit he feels he deserves, Packer nation know exactly how special the season has been for Davante Adams.
