Gearing up for an exciting sixth season with the Green Bay Packers, coaches, teammates, and experts alike are looking for greats things from Davante Adams. A second-round pick in the 2014 draft, he had a solid rookie season with the Green Bay Packers ending with 446 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns as well as setting Green Bay’s rookie record for receiving yards during a playoff game--117 during the Packers 26-21 win over the Cowboys.
Always a hard worker, his offseason efforts earned him the unofficial “off-season MVP” award coming into the 2016 season where he finished as Green Bay’s second-leading receiver with 75 catches for 997 yards and 12 touchdowns--second only to Jordy Nelson.
He continued to improve for the 2018 season with a team-leading 885 yards and 10 touchdowns from 74 catches. He was also selected for his first Pro Bowl appearance and ranked 45th by his peers as the NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2018.
The 2018 season brought many successes and achievements including a career-best 166 yards from 10 receptions in Week 11, reaching 1,000 receiving yards in a season, double-digit receiving touchdowns for a third consecutive season, and 100 receptions in a single season.

Looming storms, heat and humidity didn’t stop Green Bay Packer fans from coming out to meet Super Bowl XLV Champion Nick Collins last night as the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters hosted the Kenosha Kingfish.
While fans knew of his football greatness, many were surprised when he shared baseball was actually his first passion, even being drafted by the Atlanta Braves out of high school. Needing to focus on one sport while attending Bethune-Cookman, Collins thankfully choose football, being drafted by the Packers in 2005 in the second round of the draft.
During his seven seasons with Green Bay Collins played in three Pro Bowls, was a three-time Second-Team All-Pro, NFC Interception co-leader in 2008, NFL interception return yards leader in 2008, and Super Bowl XLV champion. In 2016, Collins efforts and accomplishments with the Packers were further recognized as he was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
Currently residing with his family in Florida, Collins is available for motivational speaking, autograph sessions, player appearances, and endorsement opportunities.

Bringing Packer greats to Historic Witter Field to meet their fans is nothing new for the Rafters. This is the second time they’ve partnered with Mayfield Sports, kicking off the Jerry Kramer Baseball Stadium Tour the end of June.
Their first game back after the All-Star break where Rafters Richie Schiekofer, Neil Abbatiello, Matt Osterberg, and Jake Dunham played significant roles in the Great Lakes 5-2 victory, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters shut out the Kenosha Kingfish 1-0 in the evening’s game.

Mayfield Sports once again teamed up with Gross Motors to give local Packer fans a chance to meet one of their favorites. Cornerback Jaire Alexander talked with fans, signed autographs, and posed for pictures as part of Gross Motors of Marshfield’s Customer Appreciation Celebration.
“Jaire, with his personality, is always fun to be around,” shared Mark Mayfield, owner of Mayfield Sports, “and anytime you can bring a first-round pick, having the season Jaire had last year to meet the fans is going to be a blast. Mike and Jodi do a great job of hosting these events and we’re always excited when we can get things like this scheduled.”
Debuting against the Chicago Bears in the Green Bay Packer’s season-opener, Jaire posted three solo tackles during the Packer’s 24-23 win. He earned his first half-sack the following week during the teams tie with the Minnesota Vikings and his first career interception in week four in a game the Packer’s easily won 22-0 against the Buffalo Bills.
