The season for the New York Jets in the NFL has been far from what was expected, despite their recent victory last weekend. However, one of the highlights has been the arrival of Davante Adams to the team and his subsequent performance. The WR is among the best in his position, and in light of this, he sent a strong warning to his counterpart from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mike Evans.
Currently, both Adams and Evans are among the best in the league when it comes to wide receivers. In fact, both players are ranked in the top 10 for the most receiving touchdowns.
The former Raiders and Packersplayer made an appearance on the Up&Adams show with Kay Adams and, among other things, warned the Buccaneers star that he would do whatever it takes to catch up to him in this prestigious ranking.
“It’s tough to keep up with Mike, he’s one of the greats… but I’m definitely coming for him,” Davante Adams stated. Mike Evans currently holds the 9th spot with 103 touchdowns, while the Jets’ player is in 10th place with 101 receptions.
