Cornerback Xavier Rhodes tells Graziano that Davante Adams of the Packers will be the toughest on the team to face.
Adams was at 9/1 odds of having the most receiving yards in 2019.
"The key with him is his releases," Rhodes said. "His game has elevated. It's crazy how, when he was a rookie and to now. I used to follow Jordy Nelson, and we weren't worried about Davante Adams at all. And all of a sudden he comes into the picture as one of the best receivers in the game, and his release game, his release technique is just awesome, it's flawless. He's come a long way."
Graziano cautioned there are questions over the depth chart that surrounds Adams.
He writes:
From conversations with the staff there, it sounds as if the coaches think second-year wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling has the best chance to develop into something special, though they all caution that he's still young and needs time and work. I also got the sense that the coaches thought Geronimo Allison, who has been working more as an inside receiver than on the outside, was behind the rest of the receivers for much of this summer as he continued to recover from last year's core-muscle surgery.
