[@gaquanwhite1040]

Man I love that Rhodes gave Adams credit. Dude is so underrated

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

A Day With G Rhodes can shut down Hopkins, Julio, OBJ, Evans, Michael Thomas, and more, but he’s always had problems with Adams and Marvin Jones Jr. from the Lions. I honestly think it has something to do with those guys being in the same division. When you play a team twice a season, year after year, you’d think the edge would go to the defender, but it doesn’t in Rhodes’ case.

[@gaquanwhite1040]

KZbin Censorship Board I’m aware of his skill set. He’s one of my personal favorites to watch play. I was just saying that I’m glad he gave Adams credit. Usually it goes Julio, OBJ, AB, mike Evans and others before it gets to Adams.
