Davante Adams Making Positive Impact on Puka Nacua

a week ago

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua said he has already learned a lot from veteran wideout Davante Adams. Since gaining knowledge from the 11-year NFL veteran, Nacua's route-running has looked sharper in practice, according to offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. It appears Nacua is using more of the "elusive" methods off the line of scrimmage instead of the brute force he often applies at the start of his routes. The 24-year-old is already one of the best wideouts in the NFL after ranking in the top 10 in yards per route run against man coverage (seventh) and zone coverage (first), but the former fifth-rounder in 2023 could become even more deadly if he adds some finesse to his physical style of play. Nacua set the rookie receiving record in 2023 and was more efficient in 2024 despite not reaching 1,000 yards due to a knee injury. Injuries could be an issue, but Nacua is a high-end WR1 otherwise.
