Last week Davante Adams made a statement that drew some raised eyebrows when he said of his move from Aaron Rodgers to Derek Carr that he was “going from Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer.”
He was asked about it this week and took the opportunity to clarify that he misspoke, that he meant to say that it *would* be a difficult transition *even if* he was going from Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer.
But that clarification didn’t stop Rodgers from today poking some fun at Adams when he was asked about the transition from Davante Adams to Allen Lazard.
Aaron Rodgers on going from Davante Adams to Allen Lazard as WR1:

“I mean it’s always tough going from Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer,” said Rodgers, drawing laughter from the media on hand. “From Davante to Allen, it’s gonna be a transition, but he’s capable of a lot.”
The smile says it all by Rodgers. Everyone gets the reference and the tongue-in-cheek delivery of it. This is clearly all in good fun and I’m sure Adams will laugh about it. Probably shoot his old pal Aaron a text.
The two had a lot of success together over the past eight seasons in Green Bay and it’s doubtful there’s any bad blood between them.
Touche, Aaron. Well played.
