First former Fresno State star Davante Adams laid the groundwork for a a major surprise for his girlfriend, then he popped the question.

Yes, the question.

The Green Bay Packers wide receiver told his girlfriend they were going to do a photo shoot in the Bahamas. Devanne Villarreal was thrilled, of course,

But while there was a trip to the island in store for the couple, there was no photo shoot. Adams instead dropped to one knee and proposed to Villarreal.
