There is no doubt that when the 2023–24 NFL regular season schedule was initially unveiled, Davante Adams had this game against the Packers highlighted on his calendar for week 5. The team with which Adams spent eight seasons will now face off against him.
Adam will be wearing the Silver and Black uniform for the first time on Monday night when he faces off against his former squad and former colleagues. During the NFL offseason of 2022, Adams was exchanged from the Packers to the Raiders.
Several Packers players had the opportunity to speak about their former all-pro teammate before Monday night’s game between the Packers and Raiders.
Kenny Clark and Jordan Love talk about Davante Adams
Kenny Clark, a defensive lineman for the Packers, discussed Adams, a former teammate. For six seasons, he played for the Packers alongside Adams.
“It’s going to be cool seeing him out there on the field. He was a great guy in this locker room, great teammate, and excited to get a chance to go out there and play against him and compete against him.”
Jordan Love, the Packers’ third-year starter at quarterback, praised Adams in addition to his current colleague. For one season, he and Adams were teammates.
“He’s a special player. He does it every day at practice, he does it every day in the game and he’s a guy that we’re going to have to step up and handle business against him because he’s a good player.”
Aaron Jones, a running back with the Packers, concluded by mentioning a former teammate. Jones played with Adams for the Packers for a total of five seasons.
“He’s definitely taught me a lot just within your pace to the game, how you can kind of go out there and play basketball, play freely. You don’t have to be so robotic and then when the opportunity is there, when it presents itself go make that play that you been doing for your whole life. So, like you said, I’m a huge fan of him. I think he’s one of the best in the game but you guys know that.”
Next week, on Monday, October 9, the Silver and Black play the Green Bay Packers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
