Star wide receiver Davante Adams has joined the Las Vegas Raiders this season and will play beside QB Derek Carr. Previously, Adams has played all of his games with the Green Bay Packers under the leadership of QB Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was in shock as he heard the trade news of his favorite WR Davante Adams. The two players had great chemistry on and off the field and were also the face of the Packers for a long time.
Recently in an interview, Adams had to compare Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Raiders QB Derek Carr. Davante Adams smartly claimed both the players to be equal.

Adams said, “That’s a tough question. I mean, it’s tough to compare. It’s really apples and oranges there. You have Aaron, who’s cemented as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. That’s just like comparing me to Jerry Rice. But as far as talent and ability, I mean, it’s really similar if I’m keeping it real.”
