A 6-11 season brought little joy for the Las Vegas Raiders, but star wide receiver Davante Adams felt a sense of satisfaction from his third First-Team All-Pro accolade more than his others. In his words, the 30-year-old proved he "doesn't need Aaron Rodgers".
The pair formed one of the best quarterback-receiver duos in recent NFL history with the Green Bay Packers, with Adams being voted to the Pro Bowl for five straight seasons before being traded to the Raiders last summer.
Rodgers' mastery as a passer has earned him four league MVP awards and Adams believes some observers downplayed his ability as a receiver because he was catching passes from a certain first-ballot Hall of Famer.
