GREEN BAY, Wis. – Did the Denver Broncos hire Nathaniel Hackett as a way to lure quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers?
“Absolutely not,” general manager George Paton said on Friday during Hackett’s introductory news conference. “Thanks for asking.”
Rodgers’ name was brought up only one more time on Friday, when Hackett was asked what the MVP quarterback meant to his career.
“First and foremost, Aaron was absolutely unbelievable,” Hackett said. “He’s been one of my biggest supporters and I love him. I’m thankful very much for him. Coaching a man like that, the one thing I learned is you better have an answer for every question because he’s going to ask every single question about every single thing that you’re going to do.
