Joe Burrow calls Davante Adams someone he's 'always wanted to play with'

Joe Burrow is a big fan of Davante Adams. Though they’ve never been teammates before, they’ll be on the field together this Saturday for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic . On Wednesday night, Burrow, who’s one of the captains of Team Wildcats, picked Adams in the draft.

And right before he drafted the Rams receiver, Burrow said he’s “always wanted to play with” Adams. Adams is one of three current or former Rams players participating in the Tom Brady-hosted flag football game this weekend, along with Odell Beckham Jr. and Jalen Ramsey.

Both Beckham and Ramsey were also drafted by Team Wildcats. "This is a guy I've always wanted to play with... Davante Adams.
