It's one thing to be a great wide receiver in the NFL. It's another to be both excellent on the field and off the field, qualities that have been displayed by Green Bay Packers wideout Davante Adams in their Week 15 31-30 road win over the Baltimore Ravens and during interviews with reporters since that contest.
Here's a clip of Adams showing genuine interest in discussing the Ravens game with a reporter, via Matt Schneidman of the Athletic, wherein Adams even searched for the exact plays that they were talking about.
If you ever want to know why Packers reporters will tell you there’s nobody better to talk with than Davante Adams, just watch this.

A true class act from Adams, who certainly knows how vital the role of the media is in growing further the NFL.
Against the Ravens, Adams finished second among Packers receivers with 44 receiving yards and a touchdown on six catches and seven targets. While those numbers are relatively mediocre by his standards, he attracted the Ravens' defense so much that he was able to open things up for Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who ended up pacing Green Bay with 98 receiving yards and a touchdown on five catches and seven targets.
The Ravens' secondary was banged up in that game, and Adams and the Packers made sure they would capitalize on it, as Aaron Rodgers finished with 268 passing yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions on 23/31 completions.
