Davante Adams becomes 12th player in NFL history with 100 career receiving TDs

He didn’t reach the century mark while wearing the green and gold, but former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams — a 2014 draft pick who spent eight seasons in Green Bay — caught his 100th career touchdown pass Sunday against Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fittingly, Adams caught the pass from Aaron Rodgers, his quarterback for all eight seasons in Green Bay.

Adams, who scored 73 of his touchdowns while with the Packers, is the 12th player in NFL history to reach 100 career touchdown catches. He moved into a three-way tie with Tim Brown and Steve Largent — two Pro Football Hall of Famers — for 10th all-time.

Here’s Adam’s 100th career touchdown catch:

Adams needed just 161 games to reach 100 touchdowns. Since leaving Green Bay after the 2021 season, Adams has scored 27 touchdowns in 45 games with the Raiders and Jets.

The Packers made Adams the 53rd overall pick in the 2014 draft. He made five straight Pro Bowl teams from 2017-2021, and he led the NFL in touchdown catches (18) in 2021 while with the Packers.

Of the 11 players with 100 or more receiving touchdowns, eight are currently in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and at least two others — Larry Fitzgerald and Antonio Gates — are likely to join. Mike Evans has 101 career receiving touchdowns and is the current active leader.

Don Hutson, a Hall of Famer for the Packers, caught 99 career touchdown passes.
