Davante Adams has been included in the NFL’s list of the league’s top 100 players for the second-straight year.
Adams, who was acquired by the Las Vegas Raiders in a blockbuster deal with the Green Bay Packers on March 18th, was listed as the seventh-best player in the league following another All-Pro season in 2021.
Over 16 games with the Packers last season, Adams hauled in 11 touchdowns while posting career-highs in receptions (123), receiving yards (1,553), and receiving yards per reception (12.6).
Countdown complete! 💯

Adams is the second-ranked receiver on the top-100 list, finishing only behind Los Angeles Rams wideout Cooper Kupp after the reigning Super Bowl MVP racked up a career-high (and league-best) 16 touchdowns while leading the league in receptions (145), receiving yards (1,947), and receiving yards per game (114.5).
Shortly following the trade that brought Adams to Las Vegas, the Raiders inked the 29-year-old to a five-year contract worth $141.25 million, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in league history.
The 2022 season will feature Adams reuniting with his former Fresno State teammate in quarterback Derek Carr as the two will look to lead the Raiders past the Wild Card round for the first time since the 2002 season.
Other Raiders to make the top 100 were tight end, Darren Waller, at No. 58, defensive end Maxx Crosby at No. 59, defensive end Chandler Jones at No. 62, and quarterback Derek Carr at No. 65.
