For eight seasons, Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers formed one of the league’s best quarterback-wide receiver batteries with the Green Bay Packers. The duo combined for 68 touchdowns in Green Bay and connected for over 7,000 total yards through the air. Rodgers has thrown more than 200 more passes to Adams than any other target in his career, according to ESPN Research.
After two seasons apart, the duo is back together — this time with the New York Jets.
Rodgers and Adams reuniting in the Big Apple isn’t the first time that iconic teammates got back together on a new team after some time apart. Here’s a look at some of the other notable reunifications across the four major American sports leagues.

In 2008, Cutler threw the ball to Marshall a staggering 179 times.
