Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers will both go down as among the legendary players of the Green Bay Packers. They have established themselves as among the greats of the Wisconsin team in their nine seasons together at the Lambeau Field.

They always show love for each other whenever they got the chance during pubic appearances but like many other friendships and working relationships, there some things they needed to work on first.
Good thing for Adams, he got a very critical and supportive senior in Rodgers. What he left him are lessons he uses even to this day.
“He taught me what details are about,” Adams said during an appearance at the Dan Patrick show.
“The man changed my life. Because he got me dialed into knowing just how important small things are.”

This statement was preceded by his answer to the question of what it was like playing with the four-time MVP. Adams recalled a time that did not understand a situation during one game in his rookie year.
“When you’re dealing with a person like Aaron, you come to learn the details are very, very important.” As a rookie in his second game, Adams wasn’t quite ready for the moment just yet.
Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams are both moving on with new team
They had a student-mentor relationship back then but now, they are both the veterans on their respective teams.
The two reunited for a season with the New York Jets with no success and are now going to enter the 2025 season with fresh jerseys.

Adams is now with the Los Angeles Rams after signing a two-year, $44 million deal in March.
Rodgers, meanwhile, signed one-season contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he is taking up the same role he had with Adams almost a decade ago.
Unfortunately, they won’t meet on the gridiron as their teams are not scheduled to meet this season.
