Davante Adams: It would be a dream to play with Derek Carr in future

Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams responded to the recruiting comments by former college teammate Derek Carr.

Adams joked that the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback stirred up the league after saying earlier this week he would recruit Adams "very hard" should the talented wideout become a free agent in 2022. While Adams made sure to mention he is a member of the Packers, he left open the possibility of linking up with his former Fresno State teammate sometime in the future.

"Obviously, I love Derek to death. We got a great friendship and we still communicate really, really consistently. He's one of my best friends, so obviously it'd be a dream to be able to play with him," Adams told Bri Mellon of ABC30.

He added: "I'm a Packer now so until that point where we make that decision, I guess we'll see what happens."

The 28-year-old said his off-field bond with Carr was what helped establish their on-field dominance at Fresno State. Adams recorded 3,031 receiving yards and 38 touchdowns over the course of the 2012 and 2013 campaign with Carr under center.

Adams, who is entering the last season of his four-year contract, led the league with 18 receiving touchdowns in 2020.
