GREEN BAY, Wis. – In the Super Bowl era, there have been only three players who won the “Receiving Triple Crown.”
Had he not missed two-and-a-half games with a hamstring injury, Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams might have joined Jerry Rice (1990), Sterling Sharpe (1992) and Steve Smith (2005) as the only players to lead the NFL in receptions, yards and touchdowns in the same season.
Entering Saturday night’s game against the Carolina Panthers, Adams leads the NFL in receptions per game, receiving yards per game and receiving touchdowns regardless of games. Adams’ 8.27 receptions per game is significantly ahead of Stefon Diggs’ 7.69. His 104.0 yards per game is ahead of Travis Kelce’s 96.2. And his 1.27 touchdowns per game is better than Tyreek Hill’s 1.08.
