Adams Leading NFL in Major Category Since 2016
In this story:
Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams led the league in touchdown receptions for the second time in his career last season.
Adams finished the 2022 campaign with 14 receiving touchdowns, two more than the second-place finisher, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Not only is that feat as impressive as it is, but Adams has been dominating that area of the game for years.
NFL on CBS tweeted on Wednesday that Adams has the most touchdown receptions in the NFL since 2016. And it's by quite the margin.
With 83 receiving touchdowns since 2016, the six-time Pro Bowler leads the next closest receiver, Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, by a whopping 17.
Behind Evans is Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill with 63, Kelce with 59, and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs with 55.
Adams led the league in receiving touchdowns during the 2020 season, when he was with the Green Bay Packers. He ended up with 18, tying him for third all time in a single season.
Hall-of-Famers Randy Moss, with 23 receiving touchdowns in 2007, and Jerry Rice, with 22 in 1997, lead the list.
Adams also led the league in receiving yards per game that 2020 season with 98.1.
To go along with his 14 touchdown receptions last season, Adams also posted 1,516 receiving yards, his second-most in a single season, trailing only his total of 1,553 from the season before.
In total, Adams has registered 9,637 receiving yards and 87 touchdowns on 769 receptions.
