Aaron Rodgers and Travis Kelce receive major honours after brilliant season

Packers’ stars, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, are both set to be named in the AP NFL All-Pro Team. Both players are performing at a high level thus far and will be in the limelight at Lambeau Field in the Divisional Playoff round.

“I feel like I’m a pretty complete receiver. … It’s just fine-tuning the things I do well and just figuring out a way to do them even better,” Adams said via AP.
