Many experts believe that the Green Bay Packers have no weapons for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The signing of Jordan Love and A.J. Dillon only strengthened their stance.
However, Davante Adams emerged as one of the best wide receivers in football last year. Especially at a time when Rodgers needed him the most. However, there are plenty of questions about his fitness in the buildup to the new season.
