While Davante Adams missed three weeks of action due to a hamstring injury, the Jets’ newest WR still saw plenty of screen time during NFL Sundays.
For the last few seasons, Adams has starred in a series of Taco Bell commercials that are impossible to miss. After his trade to New York, those commercials — and their nature — were immediately brought back to light for understandable reasons.
Here is more on Adams’ Taco Bell campaign and how the international chain had fun with fans following the major trade.

The campaign’s premise comes from a simple statement in one of the first advertisements: “We wanted Davante in our ads. He wanted a Taco Bell in his house.”
As such, Adams’ home first featured one Taco Bell order window and kitchen in the commercials. From there, the commercials documented the various oddities that would come with Adams having a fast food chain inside the living room of his home.

Hilarity ensued, including a second location opening elsewhere in the living area because “business is booming.”
Naturally, with Adams moving across the country from Las Vegas to New York (or New Jersey), fans wondered what would be happening to his in-home Taco Bells.
“Nah, we don’t travel. I’ve got two [Taco Bells] in my Vegas crib, so we’ll just keep those over there and start a new deal here,” Adams said during a surprise post-trade appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

Taco Bell even had some fun with it, quoting a post on X (formerly Twitter) that suggested that there could soon be a home on the market with two fast food restaurants within.
In the quoted post, the chain shared a fake listing of a home, featuring a photo of a Taco Bell in the dining area.

They also responded to a pressing inquiry from NFL Network’s Adam Rank:
we think you know the answer to that

Seeing how Adams’ trade sparked a reunion with Aaron Rodgers, maybe it’s only a matter of time before he finds a way to set up an in-home Taco Bell wherever he eventually settles in the New York metropolitan area.
