Ever since Davante Adams left the squad, there has been a lot going on inside the Packers locker room. There have been uncertainties about who will stand up as the No 1 receiver for Aaron Rodgers, and it seems the quarterback has found his answer. During the Labor day training session, Rodgers wore a unique non-pictured T-shirt that had the name of fifth-year veteran Allen Lazard.

Aaron Rodgers is not new to controversies, and his love for making headlines has been evident this offseason. Although Adams’ departure was a hard pill to swallow, the QB seems to have moved on.
Especially when the veteran was busy grooming the young pack of wide receivers to not repeat the same mistakes. While speculations claimed that it would be Romeo Doubs or Samori Toure, Rodgers made it loud and clear that it was Allen Lazard.
The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman reported the incident where Rodgers was wearing a T-shirt inspired by former US president Donald Trump’s election slogan, ‘Make America Great Again’.
“No, still photography allowed in the locker room, and he didn’t talk today, but Aaron Rodgers is wearing a “Rodgers/Lazard ‘23 MAKE GREEN BAY GREAT AGAIN” T-shirt.” He wrote on Twitter. Not to mention, Lazard’s name was explicitly mentioned on the T-shirt, indicating his intentions.

However, the only drawback was that photographers were not allowed inside the camp, and Lazard himself wasn’t available during the practice. He needs to show up ahead of the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Fans go crazy after Aaron Rodgers shows his inclination
Last season, he recorded 40 passes for 513 yards and eight touchdowns, which is more than any other receiver on the roster after Adams left for the Raiders. One user said the quarterback had too many concussions.
Aight. I'm out. Loved him for a long time, but he's had a few too many concussions or something.

This user took this as an opportunity to take a dig Rodgers’ vaccination remarks.
Does the back say “Immunized?” https://t.co/It5MwoR9Vv

Packers’ loss to the Niners in the divisional round was used to target Rodgers.
All this just to lose to the 49ers at home in the divisional round. Sad.

This user was skeptical about Lazard’s injury.
Off to a bad start with the Lazard injury.
