Davante Adams doesn’t have to worry about his chemistry with Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers anymore after Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. He has veteran Derek Carr under center and throwing him passes now. 

But that doesn’t mean Adams won’t comment on his former signal-caller’s effect on players. Adams spoke on "The Pivot" podcast and likened Rodgers to NBA legend Michael Jordan, saying his presence alone has a positive effect on other players. 

That comment came after it was brought up that Rodgers didn’t believe his presence at voluntary practices before training camp had much impact. 

Adams begs to differ.

"You’re obviously gonna run a little harder [if] your coach is watching you. So it was kind of that type of effect, and he made me a better player out of that, because the consistency came from that," Adams explained. 

"It wasn’t the same as when Aaron is out there."
