After inking a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams this offseason, seasoned wide receiver Davante Adams shared that he feels “rejuvenated.” That sense of renewal has strongly resonated with head coach Sean McVay, who expressed admiration for Adams’ attitude and immediate influence on the team.
“It’s amazing—that’s exactly what you hope for,” McVay told J.B. Long of Rams.com. “We’re always aiming to find the right mix of urgency and joy. Hearing that from Davante means everything to me, given the high regard I have for him both as a player and a person.”
A New Chapter for Adams and the Los Angeles Rams Offense
“So, we’re always trying to strike that balance of urgency and enjoyment. For Davante to say that, that means the world to me because of the respect and admiration I have for him as a person, as a player. Really glad that he’s in our locker room. He’s made a tremendous impact already. And I think he feels appreciated, and I know the guys feel appreciated by the way that he moves, the way that he’s pouring into guys, and just being a great teammate himself.”
Adams, now entering his 12th NFL season, split 2024 between the Raiders and Jets. Despite the turbulence, he still managed 85 receptions for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in just 14 games. He has topped 1,000 receiving yards in six of the past seven seasons and remains one of the league’s premier route runners.
Building Chemistry with Stafford
McVay is just as enthusiastic about the growing connection between Davante Adams and veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, now entering his 17th NFL season. The Rams’ head coach emphasized their shared dedication and high football IQ as major factors behind their smooth on-field chemistry.
“It’s been a pleasure to witness their communication during practice,” McVay said. “They’re true professionals who grasp the subtle details of the game. Their ability to adjust and collaborate really stands out.”
As the Rams look to bounce back from a tough 2024 season, the Stafford-Adams partnership could be central to revitalizing the offense. With Adams’ route-running precision and Stafford’s arm strength, the potential for big plays—and a postseason push—is clear.
Backed by mutual respect and McVay’s leadership, this pairing could redefine the Rams’ offensive identity heading into the 2025 season.
