Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers reserved special praise for his WR Davante Adams after finishing the month of December undefeated. Rodgers and the Packers really had major problems even before the season began, with the former looking to force out of Green Bay.

But, despite all their issues with COVID-19 vaccination protocols, both the Rodgers and Packers continued winning ball games for the majority of this season. The reigning league MVP continued to prove his credentials for what could be his fourth MVP award.

An unsung hero benefiting from Rodgers’s MVP campaign is the WR Davante Adams entering his 8th NFL season. The 29-year old receiver from Fresno State is on a different level among the WRs this season. Having played in 14 games, he recorded 106 receptions for 1362 yards with 10 TDs.

If Adams continues to build on this momentum, he will easily surpass his 2018 career-high in total receiving yards in a single season (1386). While he enters his prime years, a 100 yards game with more than 5 receptions is second nature for him.

Both the NFL and Packers fans should really respect and treat this WR’s extraordinary season as something quite special. A worrying aspect for the Packers will be the reality of Adams entering free agency at the culmination of this campaign.

The Titletown faithful will surely want to tie him down to a lucrative contract. But the Packers will have to pay up considerably for retaining all his talents. With a tough salary cap restriction, the job for the Packers just got really hard, really quickly. Until then, both Rodgers and Adams will be gearing themselves for a deep and challenging postseason journey.
