Rams Coach McVay's Honest Chat with Adams

0:00On April 1st, after that heartbreaking NFC Championship lost to the Seahawks, the Rams dug into their season tape, zeroing in on veteran-wide receiver, Devonte Adams. The 33-year-old put up 60 catches for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns. Solid numbers, but not his full potential. Coach Sean McVeigh saw they underused one of the league's top receivers. Was stood out even more, was Adams still playing at an elite level, clear as day on film, that flipped their off-season plans, they'd been open to trading him, but now decided keeping him made the most sense to chase that super bowl edge. Trade talk leaked out during their roster review, stirring up frustration in the locker room. McVeigh, the 40-year-old headman entering his tenth season, hated how it could hurt trust with a proven vet like Adams. So McVeigh picked up the phone and laid it all out straight no sugar-coding. He told Adams his name did come up in trade chats because the team explores every option, but the tape proved running it back was best for the Rams.

1:01Now with full honesty on the table, Adams gears up for a bigger year to an LA, and McVeigh keeps evolving as a leader who values direct talk over. Rumors.
