He redshirted as a true freshman at Fresno State in 2011, then in 2012 had 102 receptions for 1,312 yards and 14 touchdowns. All three led the Mountain West Conference.

As a sophomore in 2013, he led the nation with 131 receptions for 1,719 yards and 24 touchdowns.

Adams was selected in the second round (53rd overall) by the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft.[8] On June 12, 2014, he signed a contract with the Packers.[9]
2014 season
After playing in the number four receiver slot for the first game against Seattle, he took 37 snaps in the second game against the New York Jets he had five catches for 50 yards.[10] Entrenched as the Packers' number three receiver, on October 2 he scored his first NFL touchdown on an 11-yard strike from Aaron Rodgers in a 42-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. On October 26 he had a personal-best seven receptions in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. He tallied his first 100-yard receiving game on November 30 with six receptions for 121 yards in a 26-21 win over the New England Patriots.[11] Though a distant third to Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, Adams' 446 receiving yards and three touchdowns were a solid rookie contribution to the 12-4 Packers. On 11 Jan 2015, he set the Packers' rookie record for receiving yards in a playoff game with 117 against Dallas, including a 46 yard touchdown.[12][13]
2015 season
In 2015, Adams missed three games after an ankle injury in week 2, and suffered a knee injury in the playoffs. In between, his "second season was a dud",[14] finishing just fourth on the team in receptions (50) and receiving yards (483), with one touchdown, all for a team without star Jordy Nelson.[15] However, his efforts preparing for 2016 earned him the unofficial "off-season MVP" award.[14]
2016 season
The work-ethic paid off, as Adams recorded five touchdowns through his first six games in 2016. On October 26, Adams was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after catching 13 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in Week 7.[16] He topped this total with a Packers' season-best 156 yards against Tennessee. Adams finished as the Packer's 2nd leading receiver with 997 yards on 75 catches for 12 touchdowns (second in the NFL only to teammate Jordy Nelson). Adams began the post-season with eight receptions including a touchdown, and the 13th-most post-season receiving yards in Packers history with 125 in a win over the New York Giants.[17][18] He added 76 yards in the division win over Dallas, and a touchdown in the championship loss to Atlanta.
2017 season
Adams started the 2017 season with the three receptions for 47 yards in a 17–9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.[19] In Week 2, in a 34–23 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Adams eight receptions for 99 yards, which included a 33-yard touchdown reception.[20] In the September 28, 2017 game against Chicago, Adams had to be taken to a hospital in an ambulance after a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit by Chicago's Danny Treavathan, who would eventually earn a two-game suspension.[21] The next week, he returned with 7 receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns including the game-winner with 11 seconds left against Dallas.[22] At that point, he led the team in receptions and yards and was tied for 4th in the NFL in touchdowns.
