Late last week, Davante Adams learned he had been traded to the Raiders, where he will reunite with his college QB Derek Carr. He looks forward to the first time he takes the field for the Raiders, but this is by far not the first time Adams had donned a Raiders jersey. He’s been sporting the Silver & Black for as long as he can remember.
“I grew up in east Palo Alto. I was a Raiders fan my whole life, so it is a dream to be a Raider,” Adams said in his introductory press conference. “In the third-grade yearbook, I said I wanted to be an NFL star or an NBA star and I was wearing a Charles Woodson jersey at the time. It’s been documented forever, so I guess you could say it’s meant to be.”
Woodson is a Hall of Fame Raiders legend. But Adams is a wide receiver, so of course, he had a special place for Mr. Raider himself; Tim Brown.
