Packers' Adams tweets displeasure at 'headhunting' hit from Panthers' Davis
Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams was the victim of another helmet-to-helmet hit on Sunday, and he's had enough of the malicious plays.
Adams attempted to get in position to make a tackle on an interception return in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, but was blindsided by a hit from Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis.
Adams was concussed on the play, and tweeted about the hit on Monday morning.
It was the second time this season he's suffered such a hit, having been concussed and sidelined by a headshot from Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan.
I’ll never understand it. Game is already dangerous enough and we got Pro Bowl players out here head hunting and saying they “didn’t mean to harm me”

Look it’s football but no room for shit like that. We supposed to be in this together n look out for one another not mess with a mans livelihood and hand out unnecessary concussions. We all got mouths to feed what if I did that to him and his kids cant eat...

Davis offered an apology soon after Adams' tweets.
I understand your frustration and I do apologize for the hit! In no way was I trying to hurt you. My first instinct was turn and make a block. In all sincerity I do apologize. I truly respect you as a player and I made a mistake!
