Aaron Rodgers is on the verge of making NFL history once again.
The New York Jets quarterback is one touchdown pass away from becoming the fifth player in NFL history to reach 500 career passing TDs.
It's no secret that Rodgers has had a special connection with wide receiver Davante Adams throughout his career. Adams shared his desire to hopefully be the one catching Rodgers' milestone ball when the Jets travel to Highmark Stadium to take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
"Obviously, I'd love to," Adams said Friday after practice, via ESPN. "I got 200, I got 400, so it would be dope to get 500 as well."
If Rodgers throws one touchdown pass on Sunday, he will join Brett Favre (508), Peyton Manning (539), Drew Brees (571) and Tom Brady (649) in the 500 passing TD club.
According to NFL Research, Rodgers and Adams have scored 82 touchdowns and are tied with Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the third-most TD connections by a QB-WR duo in NFL history, including playoffs. Only Manning and Marvin Harrison (114) and Steve Young and Jerry Rice (92) have connected for more touchdowns.
Adams, who was acquired via trade midseason from the Las Vegas Raiders, became the 12th player to reach 100 career TD catches in a Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Adams recorded nine catches for 198 receiving yards and two scores to snap New York's four-game losing streak.
From their eight seasons together in Green Bay and now in New York, Adams is appreciative of Rodgers' career and praised the 41-year-old along the QB's 20th season.
"We've had some special connections in the past, so it'd be great," Adams said. "And, obviously, it would be a big, big thing for him. Not that he needs more accolades and more milestones, but you might as well keep racking them up while you can."
The duo will look to rack up some more touchdowns on Sunday and in the regular season-finale against the Miami Dolphins.
