Davante Adams made his presence known on the field in Sunday’s Jets win over the Jaguars.
But quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Adams’ biggest contribution to the Jets since the October trade with the Raiders has come on the practice field.
“He’s a 1 receiver. He’s a dynamic player,” Rodgers said. “I think the thing that’s impacted our team the most is his practice habits. You’ve gotten an upfront look at what it means to be a professional — how you practice, how you last in the league as long as he has and play at a high level.
“You see the way he goes about his business every day in the meetings, taking notes, practice, finishing everything the way he does, his attention to detail, his attention in the weight room. It’s all the professionalism stuff that I think as a young player it’s good to see and get an example of what it looks like from somebody who has been at the top of this game for a number of years now.”
Rodgers and Adams connected for nine reception, 198 yards and two touchdowns against the Jaguars.
The two now face the Rams on Sunday when MetLife Stadium might feel like Lambeau Field with a high of 25 degrees in the forecast.
