Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is no stranger when it comes to torching opposing defensive backs in the NFL. Adams knows a talent at his position when he sees one.
Davante Adams has singled out a division-rival receiver, noting that he sees some qualities of himself in the talented, second-year wideout.

Not only does Davante Adams give Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson the ultimate praise by saying the latter looks like a six-year veteran, but he also surprisingly alluded to the fact that he believes the Vikings' wideout is playing “faster” than Adams was in his first or second year with the Packers.
Jefferson, 22, has a ways to go before he is viewed in the same tier as Adams, though he sure is on the right track. Jefferson is well on his way to another 1,000 yard season, which would be an impressive follow-up to his record-breaking rookie season, which saw him break the NFL's record for receiving yards by a first-year player.
Davante Adams has singled out Jefferson as one of the fastest-rising threats for the title of ‘best receiver in the NFL.' However, one can be sure that Adams won't be ready to give up the mantle just yet, especially not this weekend when the Packers and Vikings renew their rivalry.
