Green Bay Packers duo Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are certainly amongst the most lethal duos in the history of the NFL. Every time Rodgers passes a 50-50 ball to Adams, it is almost certain that the ball will be in favor of the duo.
Last night, after helping the Packers defeat the Washington Football Club, Aaron Rodgers cheekily compared his partnership with Davante Adams to that of the legendary Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen. This is not the first time he has done this.
