Often, a mediocre NFL player will surrender a number to a more established new teammate. When Rams receiver Puka Nacua, one of the best young wideouts in the game, quickly handed No. 17 to newcomer ...

Nacua admitted Adams joining the Rams was "perfect timing" for him to finally take No. 12 and give up No. 17. He had wanted to switch when he was a rookie in 2023, but it was too expensive.

The duo's partnership got off to a good start, too, when Nacua forfeited wearing No. 17 on the Rams so that Adams could sport his famed number.

As it turns out, Nacua already intended to switch from No. 17 to No. 12 (his number at BYU) since his rookie year. In a Tuesday session with reporters, Nacua said he had planned to make the move.

So 17 was free for Davante when he came over.” Nacua sported No. 12 when he played at BYU. Adams has worn No. 17 his entire 11-year NFL career so far.
