As the 2026 season quickly approaches, the league continues to roll out its annual NFL Top 100 rankings.
On Thursday, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was recognized as the league's No. 53 player — as voted on by active players.
Adams is coming off his 12th NFL season and first campaign with the Rams. The 33-year-old wide receiver was the No. 1 red-zone target for NFL MVP Matthew Stafford, securing a league-leading 14 receiving touchdowns in 2025.

Adams' wide receiver teammate Puka Nacua heaped praise on the veteran pass catcher during an interview with NFL Top 100.
"There's been times when he's running routes and you can feel the ground shake and you're like, 'Holy cow.' He's putting a lot of force into it," Nacua said.
"People are trying to cover me, and then they also got to cover Davante Adams," he added. "Anytime we get inside the 25-yard line he's looking for six."
While Adams led the league in receiving touchdowns, Nacua led the league in receptions with 129. The superstar WR notched a career-high 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in his third NFL season with the Rams.
The Rams will begin their 2026 regular-season schedule with a "Thursday Night Football" matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 10.
