Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams is one of the leaders of Las Vegas’ offense and the entire team. As a team captain, few players have earned the right to express their thoughts and feelings like Adams has.
In the age of social media and hot takes, Adams’ expression of his thoughts and feelings in the past has also been incorrectly considered a distraction to his teammates. This would leave many players in his shoes in a challenging position
Adams has visibly and verbally expressed his frustrations at different times this season. Adams says he considers many things when deciding how to be a leader on game day, specifically when the offense is struggling like they were against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“It’s not the same every time,” Adams said. “Depends on what it is. You got to read the room, too, to see where everybody is mentally. Sometimes, you can see it in guys’ eyes that there’s a lot going on in their heads, and those are times we usually speak up.”
“But everybody’s out there trying to do the right thing. So, it’s not like you’re in the huddle barking or anything like that. It’s more sidelines is when you do that type of stuff. Timeouts, we’ll sometimes speak to each other.”
