During their time together with the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams were the best quarterback and wide receiver combination in the league and the two grew into close friends. Now on separate teams, Adams was gutted to see Rodgers go down with a season-ending injury on Monday night.
In his press conference this week, Davante Adams opened up about the injury to Aaron Rodgers, comparing it to watching “a horrible movie.”
“Really tough, man,” Adams said during his Wednesday press conference. “I didn’t want to really take to social media because I spoke to him directly and reached out immediately. I was watching it on the plane as we were on the way over here. And it’s like a horrible movie, you don’t want to see the main character go down like that at all, let alone as early as what it was. And I know he was excited and I was definitely excited to see him go out there and ball out. I know he was feeling rejuvenated and excited about the opportunity to work with a really good team, so it sucks.
“That’s my guy though, so I let him know basically I’m here for him in whatever way that I can. I don’t know what I can do to make him feel better at this point, especially obviously with us being in season now as well, but like I said, it sucks and I’m just praying that his mental is in a good spot right now and he continues to overcome it, and obviously that team as well.”
Adams and Rodgers have not played together since the 2021 season, but it’s clear that they still feel fondly for each other.
