Aaron Rodgers gets all the headlines for the Green Bay Packers but one guy that often gets overlooked is Davante Adams who is having one of the best seasons in team history, and no one is talking about.
Adams has 92 catches for 1,196 yards so far this year which puts him on pace for 113 catches and 1,472 yards. The team's franchise record for catches in a season is held by Sterling Sharpe who hauled in 112 catches in 1993. Jordy Nelson holds the team record for receiving yards in a season with 1,519 yards, so there is a chance that Adams could pass that.
Rodgers has taken notice of just how impressive Adams play has been and thinks that more credit needs to be given for his strong play.
“I think he needs to get a lot more credit,” Rodgers said this week via ESPN. “So you guys, maybe you can write some articles about him. Give him a little love. He deserves it.”
Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy, who will have to try and find a way to slow down Rodgers and Adams this weekend has also taken notice of how good the star wide receiver is.
“He can do it all,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said in advance of Sunday’s game at Soldier Field. “To have a guy that size that has the ball skills that he has. He can run really good routes, he’s quick, he’s great versus press, he’s great in the red zone, you know, he’s big. He can do it all. That’s why I think you see the success he’s having with Aaron, is that trust factor with one another. So, it’s tough when you get a guy that size that can do everything like that. He’s a really good player.”
The Packers still have a slight hope of making the playoffs and to keep those hopes alive they are going to need to beat the Bears.
