Davante Adams, wide receiver

A complete contrast to Maxx Crosby is wide receiver Davante Adams. The six-time Pro Bowler has made his living cutting awe-inspiring routes and fooling defenders. He carries a keen football sense that makes him stand out. As a result, he's become a matchup nightmare for any cornerback facing him.

During his illustrious career, he's caught 872 passes for 10,781 yards and 95 touchdowns. Adams has carved out a name for being one of the best wideouts in the NFL, using his football intelligence to get to the top. That's why he was revered during his time in Green Bay and that's why that's carried over to the Raiders.

If Davante Adams was a hockey player, he'd be a winger. That could translate to scoring goals and dictating the offense, considering he had fantastic numbers during his NFL career. In a perfect world, Adams would be on the top line, running the rush with Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev. It always helps to have a good sidekick when putting up points, which is where the wide receiver would come in.
