The Pat McAfee Show
Davante Adams wasted no time linking back up with his buddy, Aaron Rodgers — he crashed the quarterback’s interview just hours after it was revealed he was going to be a New York Jet!!
Adams made the surprise appearance during Rodgers’ weekly hit on the “Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday … and the two couldn’t contain their excitement.
“We’re back man,” Adams said while standing behind his old Green Bay Packers teammate. “We’re back!”
The All-Pro wide receiver hasn’t played for Las Vegas since September 22, as he’s been nursing a hamstring injury. But he told McAfee he’s feeling great and was working with the Raiders’ training staff leading up to the trade — so he’ll be ready to roll.
While the two last played together in 2021, Adams doesn’t expect it’ll take too long to return to their old form — as they’ll be working with the same playbook they had in Green Bay.
“I’m sure there are a few new little nuances,” he said. “But for the most part, a lot of the same verbiage. It’s still the same O.G. right here, so we should be able to pick up where we left off; that’s the idea.”
Rodgers told McAfee he first heard the news from Adams after midnight … following the Jets’ 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
“I’m really excited,” he said. “Love Tae. He’s a phenomenal player and a dear friend. It was a crappy day yesterday, obviously. We had a good chance to get to 3-3 and win a home game. Kind of gave that one away.”
“I was pissed driving home through traffic. Had a couple messages, was just not in the mood to talk to anybody. Got home and Tae called and texted me, so I finally called him back.”
Adams was reportedly already in East Rutherford getting checked out before the trade news broke … proving New York couldn’t wait to bring in the new superstar.
Rodgers and Adams will now look to dig themselves out of a 2-4 hole … as they head to Pittsburgh for a massive matchup with the Steelers on Sunday night.
