The Green Bay Packers' Davante Adams can trace his ascent to becoming one of the most productive receivers in the NFL to a cold night in late November four years ago.That game against the New England Patriots is proof of how much a rookie must be prepared at any time to step up Sony Michel Jersey Salute to Service , even against the toughest of opponents."Well I mean, I let everybody know as far as my approach to the game ever since I got here was just to be ready at all times," Adams said this week.It's a lesson that the Packers' current crop of rookie receivers can draw from when Green Bay faces New England again on Sunday night at Foxboro.In 2014, Adams took advantage of more looks when the Patriots decided to focus on then-top Packers wideout Jordy Nelson. Adams had six catches for 121 yards on 11 targets, getting as many receptions and targets as he had drawn the three previous games combined."Yeah, that was probably my coming out game," Adams said.Now Adams is quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top option, the receiver that usually draws an opponent's best cornerback. Adams has had at least 132 yards receiving in each of his last three games."Well, he's big for us. I think he can do it all from the wide receiver position and we're expecting a lot of attention by the Patriots secondary" on Adams, coach Mike McCarthy said.If that's the case Duke Dawson Jersey , it could mean more looks for rookie wideouts Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Equanimeous St. Brown.The 6-foot-4 Valdes-Scantling has especially taken advantage of more work in recent games with injuries to starters Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison. They returned last week, but Valdes-Scantling still caught a touchdown pass last week, his second in three games.Adams has offered simple, but important advice to the rookies, just like how Nelson did to Adams four years ago."Don't try to be (Adams.) Don't try to be Cobb, don't try to be (Allison). Don't try to be anybody else that you see," Valdes-Scantling said in recounting a piece of advice from Adams.Valdes-Scantling could draw another start against the Patriots with Allison listed as doubtful for Sunday after injuring his groin in practice this week to go with an already sore hamstring. Cobb is questionable again with a hamstring injury but seems to be improving."Be yourself. Everybody does things well, but what you do well, just keep doing it," Valdes-Scantling added about Adams' advice.Adams has become an all-around receiver. Explosiveness and an ability to make moves allow him to gain extra yards after a catch.But while the 26-21 win over the Patriots in 2014 might have been his springboard Authentic James Harrison Jersey , it took a while for Adams to gain the kind of consistency that now makes him an important part of the offense.For example, following the Patriots game, Adams managed just four catches for 29 yards over his last four regular-season games combined in 2014. Then he had seven catches for 117 yards and a score in a 26-21 win in the playoffs over the Dallas Cowboys.Adams has 28 touchdown catches since the 2016 season. Opposing secondaries have caught on to Adams' rise, yet he's still coming up clutch for Rodgers."He's going to look to guys who maybe he hasn't looked to as much coming up," Adams said. "If that's how they decide to go about the game, remove (me) from the game, I'm still going to do my best to contribute as much as I can to this offense. I know the rest of the guys will be ready as well."Linebacker Nick Perry (ankle) and safety Jermaine Whitehead (back) are the only other players on the injury report, listed as questionable for Sunday.Patriots bring in three players for free agency workouts, including ex-Steelers quarterback Landry Jones The New England Patriots are always looking for ways to improve their roster and preparing for any and all eventualities is a big part of that. As a result, the team regularly hosts free agency workouts to keep its emergency lists up to date and to have potential candidates quickly available when the need arises. Yesterday Limited Andre Tippett Jersey , New England brought in three more such players ¨C they are unlikely to get signed anytime soon, but could serve as valuable call-ups in case the team has to add depth at their respective positions.CB David AmersonA second-round pick by the Washington Redskins in 2013, David Amerson has not yet found a long-term home in the NFL. The N.C. State product spent the first two years of his career in Washington before getting released early during the 2015 season. The 6¡¯1, 205 lbs cornerback was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Oakland Raiders, who quickly made him a starter and later signed him to a four-year, $35 million contract. Just two years into his deal, however, he was let go again. Coming off a season-ending foot injury, he joined the Kansas City Chiefs but was let go again during early September¡¯s roster cutdowns.WR Dontrelle InmanAn undrafted free agent in 2011, it took until 2014 for Dontrelle Inman to join an NFL team¡¯s active roster: the San Diego Chargers added the former CFL standout and he was able to make the 53-man squad in his first year with the team. The 6¡¯3 Irving Fryar Jersey Salute to Service , 200lbs wideout established himself as a valuable rotational receiver for the Chargers and caught 107 passes for 1,463 yards and seven touchdowns before getting traded to the Chicago Bears midway through the 2017 season. The 29-year old was a productive rotational player in Chicago as well but was not re-signed after the years. He had been on the open market ever since.QB Landry JonesAfter having served as Ben Roethlisberger¡¯s primary backup for the last five seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to release Landry Jones during roster cuts earlier this month ¨C his spot had been taken over by rookie Mason Rudolph. Before being let go, the former fourth-round draft pick appeared in a combined 20 games for the team ¨C starting five, including a 2016 meeting with the Patriots ¨C and completed 110 passes on 174 attempts for 1,321 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.
