Jonathan Gannon has game-planned for plenty of opposing quarterbacks over his 10-plus years in the NFL. But the Eagles defensive coordinator arguably has the most experience prepping for the star quarterback of the team’s next opponent: Back-to-back MVP and future Hall of Famer, Aaron Rodgers.
Before he teamed up with Nick Sirianni in Indianapolis, Gannon spent four seasons in Minnesota, where he served as assistant defensive backs and defensive quality control coach from 2014-’17.
Gannon is recalling that time as he formulates his weekly game plan. The Eagles (9-1) are scheduled to host Rodgers and the Packers (4-7) on Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
