The hit Sunday that gave Davante Adams a concussion, led to a series of tweets between him and Carolina Panthers LB Thomas Davis.
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…

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!

The hit drew a 15-yard penalty and put Adams on the sidelines in concussion protocol. Davis has been suspended two games by the NFL for the hit.
Thomas Davis has been suspended for 2 games for his massive hit on Davante Adams. Fair or too much? #KeepPounding #GoPackGo #NFL pic.twitter.com/MxKP2lrU0M
