“The Worst Thing Any Young Player Can Do Is…”- 17-Year NFL Veteran Aaron Rodgers Shares the Most Important Skill to Be a Successful Wide Receiver

In the 2005 draft, the Green Bay Packers chose Aaron Rodgers as the 24th pick in the fourth round. Ever since then, Rodgers has been a part of the Green Bay Packers and is currently entering his 17th season as the main man for the Packers. During his 17-year career, Rodgers has worked and played alongside some of the very best not only in his team but in the league as well. 

Over the last few weeks, Aaron Rodgers has been very critical of the rookies that have joined his team. After the first pre-season game, Rodgers called out the likes of Romeo Doubs and Amari Rodgers and asked them to step up to the occasion so that when the moment does arise, they do not falter. In a recent interview with Pat McAfee, Aaron Rodgers explained what the most crucial factor is for a wide receiver to be successful in the NFL.

He said, “Speed, that’s it, it really is it. I don’t necessarily mean the speed of the game, because it obviously gets faster from pre-season to regular season. But the speed at which your brain must operate and still be able to leave room for reaction. So the worst thing any young player can do is be robotic.”

Rodgers continued, “Be so locked into what you’re doing that you can not leave any room for reactions and instincts. When it comes to rookies, it is hard to be able to feel comfortable with what you’re doing, and leave room for reactions cause your mind starts running at a million miles per hour. That is going to be the biggest challenge for them and it is going to take a play two plays or a game.”

The Green Bay Packers start their season on the road against the Minnesota Vikings on the 11th of September. Rodgers will be hoping both Amari Rodgers and Romero Doubs are able to find their feet as soon as possible if they are to content for super bowl wins this season.
