By all means, I hope that DK Metcalf becomes the next Davante Adams (and stays on the Seattle Seahawks if he does), but it is time for someone to put an end to the same comparison that gets used every single year with a different player propped as “compared to Davante Adams” depending on where he is at in his own career as a method to have unearned optimism.

100 players in NFL history have had more receiving yards than Davante Adams through their first five seasons, it’s time to mature and stop using this comparison.
