Davante Adams is eager to begin the journey of helping the Raiders compete toward a Super Bowl when the franchise begins the season on Sept. 11 against the Chargers. But even in his excitement to play in a new offensive system with his college teammate Derek Carr, the All-Pro wide receiver believes the greatest quarterback to lead a NFL offense resides in Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers.
“He's the best quarterback, in my opinion, to play this game,” Adams said of Rodgers in a recent interview on The Pivot Podcast. “He had the Michael Jordan effect. ... [He's] gonna make you play better ... just by being on the field.”
When Rodgers was not present during practices in Green Bay, Adams said there was a noticeable difference in the players’ execution of the offense. “You would just notice people start to [slip]. ... It wasn't the same when Aaron [Rodgers] was out there.”
