Davante Adams’ Wife Pens a Love Letter to the Green Bay Packers as She Walks Down the Memory Lane

When you talk about NFL stars who left a lasting mark on Green Bay, Wisconsin, Davante Adams is a name that most would take without a second thought. Drafted in 2014 by the Packers with the 53rd overall pick, Adams quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most dominant wideouts of his era.

Over eight seasons, the former Bulldog racked up 669 receptions, 8,121 yards, and 73 touchdowns, making five Pro Bowls and earning two First-Team All-Pro honors. And Adams wasn’t just a star on the field; he became a defining figure for Packers fans over the last decade.

For Adams’ wife, Devanne Joelle, those years in Titletown were just as special. While the wideout’s football journey has since taken him to Las Vegas, New York, and now Los Angeles, Devanne continues to hold onto the memories they built in Wisconsin.

Recently, she took a moment to revisit those cherished memories, sharing a carousel of photos on her Instagram story — pictures that captured what the eight years in Green Bay meant for her blossoming family, the friendships made along the way, and so much more. She also penned a heartfelt love letter to the city and organization that played such a pivotal role in shaping their lives.

“Our home for 8 years,” Joelle wrote alongside a family photo with Davante, their child, and their dog. She followed up with another post showcasing sweet moments from their early family life, captioned: “Where we started a family.”

Next came a photo of Davante Adams’ wife laughing with friends, paired with the words: “And made friendships that’ll last a lifetime.” Devanne ended the tribute with a final set of pictures and a heartfelt message: “You’re so special, Green Bay.”

And just when it seemed the walk down memory lane couldn’t get any sweeter, Devanne later posted a throwback photo on her IG story that could melt even the coldest Wisconsin winter.

The photo captured the moment Davante Adams got drafted back in 2014, where he looked youthful and full of hope, celebrating his arrival in the NFL with Devanne at his side. A moment, in hindsight, that forever changed the couple’s lives.

Stories like these are a reminder that even if players change teams and cities, some bonds remain unbreakable. At the same time, stories like these also reveal the sad reality that only very few lucky athletes have the privilege of calling a single team and fan base their home till the end of their careers.

While Davante Adams isn’t amongst these lucky ones, it’s clear that for him and his family, Green Bay isn’t just the place where the NFL WR became a football star—it’s the place where their real life began.

With Devanne’s touching tribute, Packers fans were also given a glimpse of how deeply their city has imprinted itself on one of the NFL’s brightest stars. So no matter what colors Davante Adams wears—be it Raiders silver and black, Jets green, or now Rams blue and gold—a part of his heart, and certainly his family’s, will forever belong to Green Bay.
