The Green Bay Packers have moved on from a number of stars over the last few years. Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones, and David Bakhtiari (even with his health issues) were all stars for the majority of their careers in Green Bay. However, none of them will be a member of the Packers when the 2024 season kicks off.
One former star, however, has found his way onto the television.
Former Green Bay Packers Star Davante Adams Will Be In Reality TV Show
According to the staff at The Athletic:
Netflix’s popular “Quarterback” show is getting a sequel, with its next iteration — titled “Receiver” — featuring five star NFL pass catchers: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel.
The series chronicles the players on and off the field through the 2023-24 season and will premiere this summer, Netflix announced Tuesday.
Like “Quarterback,” which was released in July 2023 and followed Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota, “Receiver” is produced by NFL Films, Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and Mahomes’ 2PM Productions. It will feature eight, 45-minute episodes.
“We are excited to be working again with Netflix and NFL Films to give fans unprecedented access to what it’s like to play receiver at the highest level,” Manning said in a statement. “As we did with Quarterback, we look forward to telling the stories of five incredible receivers, each with their unique personality, skillset, and motivation for what drives them to be the best.”
Davante Adams Will Certainly Have An Interesting Story To Tell
After spending nearly a decade with the Packers, Davante Adams decided to move on. Following the 2021 NFL Season, Adams made it clear he wanted to be traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. According to him, it wasn’t about the money.
He was unsure of Green Bay’s future and how long Aaron Rodgers would be under center, he wanted to play with his college quarterback in Derek Carr, and wanted to be closer to family in California. However, his time with the Raiders has not panned out the way he had hoped. Las Vegas has missed the playoffs both seasons he’s been with them.
In 116 games for the Packers, Davante Adams recorded 669 catches for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns.
