Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is coming off of the best season of his career, but now, he is entering a year with a new head coach and, hence, a new offensive system.
Adams says that learning Matt LaFleur's offense has been a bit difficult, but that he has having a good time along the way.
“It's been fun learning a new offense. It's been challenging as well,” Adams said, via the Packers' official team website. “Going into Year Six, the offense was not easy, but once you get settled in, not as much studying needed. So it has challenged me to stay in my book. It's a level playing field now. The young guys can teach me stuff. We all get to work together.”
He added that he thinks he will have more opportunities next season.
“I see the yards-per-catch going up a lot more,” Adams said. “The marriage between the run and the passing game is to open up some opportunities for us. I just got to get out there and run and make sure I'm catching balls.”
Adams had a terrific 2018 campaign, hauling in 111 receptions for 1,386 yards and 13 touchdowns en route to a Pro Bowl appearance.
The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at Fresno State University, was originally selected by Green Bay in the second round (53rd pick overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft.
He made his first Pro Bowl in 2017 after catching 74 passes for 885 yards and 10 scores. However, this past season represented the first time that Adams logged 1,000 yards.
