WR Davante Adams

Similarly, this award could go to Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Graham, David Bakhtiari, Randall Cobb, and even Jamaal Williams. But after seeing the improvements he has made year to year and seeing the leadership role on and off the field in 2018, it’s hard to see anyone besides Davante Adams is not only the Offensive Player of the Year, but as one of the top five receivers in football.

Probably the best footwork off the snap of any receiver, Adams has become one of the best route runners in the NFL, comparable to the prime of Greg Jennings in his fluidity and subtlety. Very few receivers can get to the top of their routes and create extra separation like Adams, and it should lead to his first 1,000-yard season and another double-digit touchdown year. If those happen, he’ll be a Pro Bowler, All-Pro, and the best offensive player in Green Bay (not wearing #12).
