Given this history, it came as no surprise when Bears standout cornerback Jaylon Johnson acknowledged Davante Adams as the most challenging wide receiver he's faced.
Johnson, a member of the Bears since 2020, has witnessed Adams' dominance firsthand, particularly in their head-to-head matchups. In 17 encounters, Adams, a product of Fresno State, amassed 88 receptions for an impressive 1,081 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns against the Bears.
While these statistics span back to 2014, showcasing Adams' prowess over multiple seasons, Johnson managed to contain him in their recent meeting. In their last clash, Johnson limited Adams to seven catches on 12 targets, yielding just 57 yards.
Adams stands out as one of the NFL's premier wide receivers, but his future with the Las Vegas Raiders remains uncertain due to ongoing quarterback challenges within the team. Speculation abounds that Adams may seek a new team in the near future.
Meanwhile, Johnson's performance has garnered attention across the league, prompting discussions about his potential free agency. However, the Bears appear inclined to retain him, possibly utilizing the franchise tag to keep him in Chicago for the foreseeable future.
