Watch: Davante Adams puts on a footwork clinic

The Packers wide receiver shows great technique on a double-move against the 49ers

The Green Bay Packers are off to a solid start tonight against the San Francisco 49ers, holding a 21-3 lead in the second half. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams have already connected five times for 104 yards and a touchdown. And on this long third-quarter completion, Adams put on a footwork clinic on a double-move:

The 49ers have struggled to find a coverage scheme that works against the Packers, and on this stutter-and-go Adams gets right behind cornerback Jason Verrett. Once the cornerback bites on the move – and the pump fake from Rodgers – Adams accelerates downfield and Rodgers hits him in stride.

If you or someone you love is a prospective wide receiver, you want to pay attention to the footwork from the receiver on this play. It is textbook. As is the fake from the Rodgers, as this is the kind of “manipulation that matters.”
