Ex-Pro Bowl QB Comments On Derek Carr and Davante Adams Finding Their College Chemistry At Las Vegas Raiders: “I Haven’t Thrown To My College Receivers in Seven Years”

This NFL season, the Las Vegas Raiders have a new signing to their offensive line. They got WR Davante Adams in a trade with the Green Bay Packers earlier this year. One of the top receivers in the NFL, Adams would join an offensive line in the Raiders led by none other than his college teammate QB Derek Carr.

It is now being widely speculated about how the two would perform together, and on the matter, QB Robert Griffin III has his own view. The pro bowl winner has been around the football circuit long enough to know a thing or two about dynamics between teammates.

Why does RGIII think playing Carr and Adams won’t be a problem for the Raiders?

Speaking to the NFL Live, he said that both players would seamlessly come together on the field, although “they haven’t thrown a ball to each other in a long time.” Carr and Adams had last played together at Fresno State from 2012 to 2013.

He believes the two players would not have any trouble adjusting to each other’s playing styles. The former Redskins QB said, “I haven’t thrown to my college receivers in seven years and I can pick up a ball today … [and] hit them in stride. So I don’t think that’ll be a problem.”

This chemistry would be seamless because of their prior college playing experience. Adams’ inclusion would definitely add to the Raiders’ offense, given both; his history with Carr and his own shown skills with the Packers.

Adams wanted to move to the Las Vegas Raiders for years

The WR had been playing for the Packers since they drafted him in 2014. He was a regular running threat to the offense controlled by QB Aaron Rodgers.

But apparently, Adams’s move to the Raiders is not a sudden decision. In fact, it had been in the plans for at least the last five years, while Adams was very much a part of the Packers’ circuit.

This piece of news has come from an unlikely source- Carr’s brother, David. He said, “Derek was pushing to get him there… A couple years ago they were really close to making that happen.” David also stated that Davante and Derek have been “best friends” since their days at Fresno State.

All the talk leads to what GRIII has to say about the two and their possible on-field chemistry. Both have been trying to play on the same team for years. Now they are two vital cogs in the Raiders’ offense, and we may expect Jerry Jones’ team to have an offense to be reckoned with.
