NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Davante Adams has joined rare NFL company.
With his 16-yard touchdown catch with 9:40 remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans, the Rams wide receiver became the 32nd player in NFL history to reach 12,000 career receiving yards.
"It's much more sweet when you get a dub with it, for sure," Adams said. "I've had a few different ones over the last few years where it's harder to feel good about it, so obviously, it's even more easier to celebrate it – not a literal celebration, but to feel good about it definitely. It's been a long career, so it's good anytime you can be mentioned with under 100 people is just period, let alone almost top 30 in yards, like, that's something that means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to my teammates as well, because it means that I'm out there grinding, trying to do what I can do to help us win."
Adams entered Week 2 needing 105 receiving yards to hit the milestone. He finished with 106 and one receiving touchdown on six catches in the Rams' 33-19 road win over the Titans.
"He's a hell of a player," quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "Made some unbelievable catches today, connected on some big ones, and I think there's still more out there."
