Former Packers receiver and current NFL Network analyst James Jones believes Davante Adams, his teammate in Green Bay for one season, is an elite player with All-Pro potential.

“Davante Adams is a special player, Pro Bowl player, All-Pro player,” Jones said on NFL Total Access. “With Aaron on the field every single game, you’ll see him take off even more than you did this year.”

Adams, who ranked 45th on the NFL’s Top 100 players list for 2018, caught 74 passes for 885 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, with five coming from Rodgers and five from Brett Hundley. He leads the NFL in touchdown receptions with 22 over the last two seasons.

Jones’ one season with Adams came right before he broke out in a big way in 2016, when he shook off a nagging ankle injury from 2015 and tied for the NFL lead with 12 receiving scores.

Adams’ work at the snap continues to impress Jones. His combination of quickness and footwork has made him almost impossible to press at the line.

“Off the line of scrimmage … the explosion off the line of scrimmage,” Jones said. “The Allen Iverson crossover off the line of scrimmage. He doesn’t get touched. That’s why he excelled with Brett Hundley in there because the separation between him and the defender all came at the line of scrimmage.”

In fact, Adams caught a higher percentage of targets for more yards per attempt from Hundley than Rodgers in 2017. The Packers rewarded Adams with a four-year extension worth $58 million just days before the season finale in Detroit.

Fellow NFL Network analyst David Carr sees Adams as an ascending talent with natural physical gifts, including a 39.5″ vertical leap.

“There’s certain guys in the league that are just physically better than everybody else,” Carr said. “Davante is just that guy. … It’s just a matter of time before the league finds out this guy is a top-tier receiver.”

The Packers now need more of Rodgers and Adams healthy and on the field together. Rodgers is back to 100 percent after missing nine games with a collarbone injury in 2017, while Adams is dealing with a minor hamstring injury during OTAs.

Jones sees fireworks in Green Bay’s future if both No. 12 and No. 17 can stay healthy.

“He’s a special talent,” Jones said. “Catches the ball with his hands. Forty-inch vertical. Explosive player. … Him healthy. Aaron Rodgers healthy. You’re looking at a bad combination.”
