"McVay was calling to tell Nacua he had been recruiting Davante Adams and that there was a good chance the Rams would be able to add him to the receivers room. On the night before the deal was done, he wanted to know what Nacua thought. From off to the side, during the father-daughter dance, Nacua told McVay quietly, "I think that would be sweet.""
"McVay showed Adams how some of the routes he ran during his time with the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets and his final season with Las Vegas Raiders fit into the Rams' playbook. "So [he was] just letting me know that 'things that you've been doing marry up great with what we do here, and can't wait to see you come over and do it in a Rams uniform,' Adams said.""
Sean McVay recruited Davante Adams and showed him highlight clips demonstrating how Adams' routes fit the Rams' playbook. Puka Nacua, contacted during a teammate's wedding, quietly endorsed the addition. Adams and Nacua accounted for 242 total yards and 22 of quarterback Matthew Stafford's 32 targets in a Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. Adams described McVay repeatedly telling him that his playing style 'marry up great' with the Rams. Adams noted some early miscues near the tight red but praised persistent playcalling and aggression that improved production throughout the game.
