There is no question that Davante Adams is having a Hall of Fame career. He’s been among the best receivers in the league for nearly a decade and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down anytime soon.
But when might he make the Hall of Fame? That is a question that Bill Barnwell of ESPN tried to answer and his prediction was in 2032, meaning that he would retire after the 2027 season. Here are his thoughts on the future Hall of Fame receiver for Las Vegas:
With three first-team All-Pro nods, Adams is five touchdowns away from being in the 10,000-yard, 100-touchdown club at wide receiver. While receivers are benefiting from a 17-game season and a pass-happy league, every other receiver who has hit those round numbers is either in the Hall of Fame or likely to get there.
Maybe 2024 ends up being a bit of a lost season with Adams as he struggles through a year with middling quarterback play, but he could make up for it with a solid final couple of seasons somewhere else — perhaps as one of Justin Herbert’s primary targets in Los Angeles, adding a Super Bowl in the process.
It’s pretty conceivable that Adams could retire with well over 13,000 receiving yards and 120+ touchdowns, which would make him a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame. He is the type of receiver who should age well in the NFL, so maybe he could surpass those numbers by a large margin.
Adams will be an NFL Hall of Famer and it’s just a matter of when, not if. So try to enjoy his 2024 season as we are watching one of the best to ever do it.
