After being traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Las Vegas Raiders, All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams says he noticed a big difference upon entering the building.
Adams was a guest on "The Rush" podcast hosted by Raiders star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby and said he immediately saw the competitive nature of the players on the Raiders was different than that of his former teammates in Green Bay (the clip starts at 56:17 of the episode).
"I don't have any expectations (for 2024) but I do have a standard that we've got to live up to, regardless," Adams said. "We set that, so we control that with whoever comes through this building, all the people that are there.
"One thing I'll say about the Raiders is that the moment I stepped through this building, it was way more competitive than we were in Green Bay," he added. "In Green Bay, we had great teams and we found a way to win, but when you talk about the competitive nature, there's a lot more guys (in Las Vegas) that kind of had the same mentality as Jaire (Alexander) had."

Adams went on to tell the story of how he beat Alexander in a one-on-one at practice one day and how the cornerback did not handle it well. Alexander immediately went to look at the film to see what went wrong before asking Adams what he could've done differently, which impressed the wideout.
Adams also touched on his ending with the Packers and stated that he does not have any regrets about being traded, despite a pair of losing season. Make sure to check out the entire episode, it's a good one.
