Netflix’s top-rated “Receiver” docuseries, released last week, shines a bright light on just how frustrated Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams was last season. We all saw Adams slam his helmet on the ground during the loss to the Detroit Lions, but we didn’t hear what he said on the field then — or weeks before — as he was growing more and more disappointed and upset with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s play.
When Garoppolo wasn’t missing an open Adams with bad throws, he was late getting rid of the ball and setting his receiver up for big hits by defensive players.
“I gotta get the f— outta here before I lose my f—ing life,” Adams said during the Week 6 game against the New England Patriots. “I ain’t never been hit this many f—ing times in my career. Every game I get f—ed up.”
Adams is one of the five receivers profiled — and followed behind the scenes with a camera crew — for the streaming show. When he is not relaxing and trying to find peace with his wife and two daughters at home, Adams is busy trying to remain positive on a team struggling to score points.
