Los Angeles Rams’ wide receiver Davante Adams is one of the best in the game and has been for quite some time. His career, however, has taken a turn over the last few years. After spending a few seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, he spent one season with the New York Jets, and now finds himself with the Los Angeles Rams.
While he remains one of the best in the game, it’s his on field antics that are catching a lot of criticism.

According to multiple sources:
Davante Adams says he yells “milk check” to his QB anytime he’s lined up against a white cornerback:
“Have y’all ever heard of the milk check? You get out there, you got one on: ‘Milk Check.’ You scream that to the quarterback. You let em know.”
