The partnership with Aaron Rodgers
When Davante Adams joined the Packers as a second-round draft pick in 2014, Aaron Rodgers was already past the 30 mark. Both Rodgers and Adams formed a formidable partnership that saw the Packers make it to the playoffs for fun every year. The partnership remained alive till the end of the 2021 season. In those years, the Packers remained a formidable force in the NFC. Adams left the franchise on a trade to the Raiders. Since the two have separated, both Adams and Rodgers are struggling to find a consistent form. Adams also courted controversy after he pushed a cameraman post a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
