Davante is one of four children born to Douglas Adams and Pamela Brown; he spent his childhood in East Palo Alto, California with his two sisters and a brother, and went to Palo Alto High School where he started playing football, becoming one of the key players that brought the CIF state championship to the school. Following this success, Davante was contacted by a number of prestigious universities, including the University of California, San Diego State University, and the University of Hawaii, but chose Fresno State. He was redshirted for his first season, but then in 2012 and 2013 showed what he was made off – he caught 102 passes for 1,312 yards and 14 touchdowns, which was also a record in the Mountain West Conference. Furthermore, he was named the MVP of the 2012 Hawaii Bowl, before in 2013 improving further his stats, with 131 receptions for 1,719 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Following another successful season, Davante was encouraged enough to declare for the 2014 NFL Draft, foregoing his last two college years, and he was subsequently chosen by the Green Bay Packers from 53rd position, and signed his rookie contract with the franchise on the 12th June 2014, marking the start of his professional career. In his first professional game, Davante was the fourth wide receiver, but in the second game, he caught five passes, which was enough for 50 yards. Game after game his numbers improved, and he had his first 100+ yard game against the New England Patriots when he caught six passes for 121 yards. He played in all 16 games and had a solid result with 446 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He didn’t improve much in his second season, compiling only 483 receiving yards from 50 receptions and just one touchdown. He didn’t bring the change to the team, but following the end of the season, Davante focused on training, which eventually brought him results.
His 2016 season was a breakthrough for the young wide receiver; he caught 75 passes for 997 receiving yards and his personal best 12 touchdowns, second in the league in receiving touchdowns behind his teammate Jordy Nelson. In the postseason, Davante played in three games scoring one touchdown with additional 217 receiving yards.
He continued with great form in 2017, making several notable plays including a 10-reception game for 82 yards against the Cleveland Browns, and a season-long 55-yard touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He finished the season with team-high 74 catches, 885 yards and 10 touchdowns. Thanks to his successful plays, Davante earned a contract extension, worth $58 million over four years, which will ultimately increase his net worth to a large degree, and he was also named to the Pro Bowl.
When it comes to his personal life, Davante is engaged to Devanne Villarreal; the couple has been dating for several years, and while on a trip to the Bahamas in June 2017, Davante dropped to one knee and asked his college sweetheart to marry him – the answer was positive.
