Watch: Aaron Rodgers welcomes Davante Adams to Madden’s #99Club

Aaron Rodgers welcomed Davante Adams to Madden’s 99 Club

Aaron Rodgers surprised his favorite receiver, Davante Adams, on Wednesday, with quite the post-Christmas gift.

The Packers’ great quarterback was in on the fun as he delivered a bejeweled 99 Club Madden necklace to the wideout.

“It’s about time,” Rodgers said. “Finally getting the due you deserve, my man.”

“One-seven is officially in the 99 Club,” Adams said.

“I think that necklace is the same color as a jacket you might be wearing here in about a decade or so. I hope you like that color, because it looks good on you,” Rodgers said, referencing Adams’ potential to be a Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Per Packerswire.com:

Adams joins Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald, Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in the “99 Club.”

Adams began the season at 94 overall. He’s been bumped up one point overall five different times and was most recently improved to 98 overall in Week 13.

In just 13 games this season, Adams has 109 catches for 1,328 yards and an NFL-high 17 touchdowns. He caught three more touchdown passes against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

 

Watch: Davante Adams makes circus catch to put Packers ahead

Aaron Rodgers may not have all the weapons he wants, but there are few better than Davante Adams.

The 49ers have been one of the better single-high safety teams over the last couple of seasons, but there are times when even when you’re running your best scheme, you get beaten by a ridiculously great play.

This was the case for San Francisco’s defense with 11:42 left in the first quarter in their Thursday night go-round with the Packers. Emmanuel Moseley is the 49ers’ best healthy cornerback, but there was absolutely no way to defend this Aaron Rodgers throw to Davante Adams for six.

The 38-yard pitch and catch gave Adams his league-leading eighth touchdown reception, and his sixth in his last three games. Odds are, Adams isn’t done yet tonight — though on Green Bay’s next drive, they went back to the well with another deep throw to Adams, and this time, Moseley snuffed it out.
