How Ankle Injury Impacts Packers Offense, WR's Development
With a full year in the NFL under Adams' belt and more time to build a rapport with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, many expected big things from the 22-year-old in 2015. Adams had an encouraging rookie season, hauling in 38 receptions for 446 yards and three touchdowns.
When Jordy Nelson suffered a season-ending knee injury during the preseason, it opened up more of an opportunity for the former Fresno State Bulldogs star—a sure-handed receiver will always fit in well with the Packers. James Jones' success in his return to Green Bay illustrates the tangible impact a receiver can have while playing with Rodgers.
The injury may hinder Adams' development but shouldn't be a major roadblock for him in the grand scheme of things. The Packers see him as a major part of their future; otherwise, Green Bay wouldn't have taken him in the second round of the 2014 draft.
