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.
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.
