Elite technician in smooth decline with a shift back to a traditional X-receiver role
Matt Harmon observes that Davante Adams is in a 'smooth descent' as he nears age 34, with performance metrics declining from his 99th-percentile peak. While remaining an elite technician with high success rates on slants (81.5%) and digs (83.9%), his 2024 success rates versus man (70.1%), zone (78.1%), and press (69.8%) show a clear drop-off. Usage-wise, Adams shifted from a career-high 42.4% slot rate with the Jets in 2024 to a traditional X-receiver role with the Rams in 2025, where he took 87.1% of snaps outside and 82.1% on the line of scrimmage. His route tree also evolved, with nine-route frequency falling from 17.6% to 9.4% and dig route usage rising from 10.7% to 22%.
