Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Tuesday that the team’s young wide receivers need to be more consistent route runners and pass catchers to make an impact this season, but it doesn’t sound like he’s worried about not having enough places to go with the ball this season.
When Rodgers wasn’t talking about the receivers on Tuesday, he was talking about how useful running backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon can be in the passing game. Rodgers said it is “really realistic” for both players to catch 50 passes this season and he pointed to sets using both players at the same time as a way to maximize their productivity.
