Though his performance on the field remains elite, it’s his recent behavior during games that has drawn criticism. According to multiple sources, Adams has reportedly used a phrase that’s raising eyebrows. He allegedly calls out “milk check” to his quarterback whenever he lines up against a white cornerback, saying:
“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 him know.”
🚨THIS IS WILD🚨
Davante Adams used to shout “Milk Check” to his quarterback whenever he spotted a white cornerback lined up across from him.
WILD.
