Davante Adams explains Monday’s incident
According to Adams, some guy ran off the field and jumped in front of him, and he kind of pushed him, and he ended up on the ground. “So I wanted to say sorry to him for that because that was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in from of me. I shouldn’t have responded that way, but that’s how I initially responded. So, I want to apologize to him for that,” he said.
