Aaron Rodgers' looks have been well documented over the years. He's been called a number of things based on his appearance, including "homeless" and "dirt bag". It doesn't seem to bother him much and with a new look, the Green Bay Packers star is potentially opening himself up to more criticism.

Rodgers brought out a new look in the Packers' preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Rodgers left his hair long but shaved his beard, leaving just the mustache.

The new look has left NFL fans divided, with some criticizing the quarterback and others building him up.

It's unlikely that fan sentiment will affect Rodgers. The quarterback recently admitted to taking psychedelic drugs, so an insult about his hair won't phase him.


Who will replace Davante Adams' production for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers?

All offseason, there's been one major football-related storyline in Green Bay: Davante Adams' departure. He was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a couple of high-end draft picks. Replacing a number one wide receiver is a tall task, especially when that receiver is arguably the best in the NFL.

Adams' production in the 2021 season was incredible. He recorded 1,553 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. He is unlikely to be replaced by a single player in the upcoming campaign. Green Bay didn't have anybody close to Adams' level on the roster last year and they don't appear to ahead of the 2022 season.

Allen Lazard is a fine wideout, but he doesn't challenge defenses or draw attention like Adams did. Sammy Watkins, a new addition this season, probably won't either.

Truth be told, it will basically be impossible to replicate Adams' production. Rodgers will more than likely still put up a ton of numbers, but it's going to be harder to do so and will involve more production from other players.

The top of the depth chart will take up most of the targets and the rest will be caught by their other wideouts and pass catchers. These include Christian Watson, Robert Tonyan, Romeo Doubs, Samori Toure, and Josiah Deguara.

There's always the possibility of a trade or landing a free agent like Antonio Brown, but that's not likely this late in the offseason.
