The reason for this is that the first four games took place during the Mike McCarthy era. For the purposes of this piece, we will be focusing on the last seven games the Packers played without Adams. In any case, the Packers and their fans have seen what Rodgers can do without Davante Adams. Rodgers wrote "Everyone thinks the Derby is about the winning horse when the lesson is, it's about the fellowship and friends that we made along the way.This most recent example of Rodgers seemingly focusing too much on Adams has led some fans to say things like, “Well, now that Davante is gone, maybe Rodgers will actually spread the ball around more.” This statement, though, is ironic in that without Adams, of course other players are going to see more balls thrown their way. Rodgers shared a photo from Eric Bakhtiari, the older brother of David Bakhtiari, on his Instagram account that featured the whole crew in a photo. The 27-year-old Lazard, who signed with the Jets this offseason after four-plus seasons with the Packers, looked like he fit right in. Jimmy Graham, who played two seasons with the Packers from 2018-19 saluted Lazard, who was the "rookie" of this year's Derby. Shoutout the crew! Always a good time getting together for fellowship and some horse racing." Bakhtiari, who turns 32 in September, is entering his 11th season with the Packers in 2023. He wrote on Instagram that it was another "successful Derby weekend. documented their weekend in Kentucky on social media.īakhtiari, now the longest tenured Packers player, has been a regular of Rodgers' group over the years. Then came the actual Kentucky Derby, which has become a go-to destination for celebrities from all corners of the entertainment and sports worlds with everyone's fashion just as much of a focus as the horse racing. The night also included performances from Rachel Platten and Smokey Robinson. The group of current and former Packers players were part of a guest list that included celebrities such as two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Pro Football Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Emmitt Smith, the harmony group Boyz II Men, rapper Jack Harlow, among others. Many of them attended Friday's Barnstable Brown Party Gala, which is billed as the premier pre-Derby event, and held at the $1.2 million Bonnycastle home of Patricia Barnstable Brown in Louisville, Kentucky. The black-tie event in Louisville is the most exclusive of Derby Eve parties. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was part of a large contingent of ex-Packers players at the Barnstable Brown Derby Eve Gala on Friday, May 5, 2023.
