This past season marked a huge step in the right direction for Adams. With a fully healthy ankle, Adams emerged as a legitimate No. 2 receiver opposite Nelson and at times even surpassed Nelson’s production.
He finished with 75 catches for 997 yards and 12 touchdowns, with that last mark ranking second in the NFL. Most notably, though, was that he improved his yards per catch from a dreadful 9.7 mark in 2015 to 13.3 this past season.
The reason behind the revival? Adams started burning cornerbacks at the line of scrimmage and quickly getting open for Aaron Rodgers.
