Jovial Rodgers mimics Adams, praises Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. — When Aaron Rodgers reported to training camp almost exactly a year ago, he aired many of his grievances with the Green Bay Packers during a news conference that lasted 32 minutes.

The reigning two-time MVP’s mood was quite different Wednesday after the first practice of this year’s camp.

Rodgers poked fun at former teammate Davante Adams, joked that without the star receiver the Packers now are a defensive team, said he plays the game for “love” and shared an anecdote that illustrates just how much things have changed in the organization.

Adams, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in March at his request, recently discussed his transition from Rodgers to quarterback Derek Carr, telling CBS Sports: “Anytime you change quarterbacks from Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer … it’s going to be a little bit of an adjustment.”
