Davante Adams is a lucky man! The standout NFL WR is nearly breaking the internet among NFL enthusiasts due to his role in Netflix’s latest series, Receiver. The Las Vegas Raiders’ WR’s on-field accomplishments, sacrifices, and personal life behind the scenes are featured in the eight-episode documentary Receiver.

During a tough time when he was on the verge of giving up his NFL dreams, the support of his wife, Devanne Villarreal, and their families inspired him, pushing him to achieve NFL glory.  Devanne Villarreal’s parents, Gustavo Villarreal and Barbara Davis’s support are also featured in the series.

NFL’s WR wife, Devanne Villarreal, with whom he tied the knot in 2018, witnessed the separation of her parents at the age of two. However, her parents became the biggest cheerleaders of her NFL hubby. The latest series features a game against the Patriots.

When the NFL WR got frustrated, revealing he needed to leave before he lost his life, his wife’s family members reached out to Devanne for WR’s safety. In the latest episode of the series, his wife revealed, “My mom, dad, and grandmother are really the main people who are reaching out. They usually send me a text. They try not to all call me. My grandma Mimi just texted me, ‘He has to get out of there or he’s gonna get hurt bad.’”

The series also featured the WR’s pain after losing the game, saying, “I gotta get the fuck out of here before I lose my fucking life. I ain’t never been hit this many fucking times in my career. Every game I get fucked up.”

Though, it was really a tough time for Davante Adams. However, he stood up again because of his family’s unwavering support. Aside from his in-laws, his parents Pamela Brown and Douglas Adams also stood wholeheartedly alongside the NFL WR.

Davante Adams’ journey to NFL stardom with family’s support

The 31-year-old NFL star was raised by his single mother, Pamela Brown, after his parents, Pamela and Douglas Adams, parted ways due to unknown reasons. When he was 2 years old, he saw his parents end their marriage. However, his mom always stood behind him to support his dream. Thankfully, Pamela’s hard work has paid off, as he has become one of the greatest WRs in the NFL.

Adams also shares a strong bond with his mom. He is very grateful for his mom’s sacrifices and efforts that helped him become what he is today. In an earlier interview, he highlighted her late-night efforts, revealing that his mom braided his hair late into the night and woke up very early to take him to school, instilling athletic discipline in him.

Besides his mom, his father, Douglas Adams, a former high school basketball player, also greatly influenced his sporting career. Before choosing the NFL world, he played basketball for Palo Alto High School in California, just like his dad. Thus, we can say that athleticism runs deep in his blood.

However, former Green Bay Packers wide receiver’s mom, Pamela Brown, played an important role in motivating him to dominate defense. The wide receiver values his parents’ and wife’s support, which keeps him focused and inspired.

In a 2022 interview with Pivot Podcast, Adams discussed how he first battled with doubts in his head, but his parents’ encouragement helped him persist. “Some of that stuff is (hard) if you don’t have your mind all the way right. And I didn’t; it was hard for me to bounce back… So it’s a lot different now. And, you know, I was able to come out of that just because of my circle. My mom was in my corner, my dad the same way,” he remarked.

Despite being disappointed and losing hope, he stood up again with his family members’ immense support.
