For the last few years, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams has been widely considered the best wideout in the NFL.

With a new generation of receivers and the Raiders' poor 2022-23 campaign, however, it seems as though Adams has become more of an afterthought heading into the 2023 season.

But the All-Pro receiver is confident he's still the best in the game.

Adams ranked his Top-five NFL wide receivers on the "I Am Athlete" podcast on Friday, putting himself as No. 1 among the game's best.

"Based off what I'm doing and what I've done at a high level for, I feel like, the most consistent amount of time of anybody that's playing currently -- I mean I don't know if I will ever until I'm done, I'll be real -- but I can't say that anybody's better than me at my position in the league," Adams said.

Behind himself, Adams ranked Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson at 2A.

"It's the consistency, it's the dog in him," Adams said. "I see the way he plays the game is he plays the game very fast, and he keeps getting better, too. We saw what he did Year 1 and he came out and wowed us. And then he did it again. And just to keep doing it like that and getting better, you see him getting better with his routes. I talked to him a few times; I mean, he even said last year until going into this past year, he had me as [No.] 1 until this past year. He's gonna come in and take over. And I love the mentality."

Adams then had Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill at 2B, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs at No. 3, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley at No. 4, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans at 5A, and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb at 5B.
