Rodgers helps us all develop our game – Packers’ RB Aaron Jones

Aaron Rodgers may be on the wrong side of 30, but he sure isn’t looking any slower. With 3 games to go and 36 touchdowns to his name already, A-Rod, as he is known by his fans down in Green Bay, is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career.

Rodgers’ influence on this Green Bay Packers team is unparalleled. Widely regarded by many as the greatest quarterback talent of this generation, Rodgers has helped countless players find their footing in the NFL and has even helped seasoned superstars find a dimension to their game.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones while talking to Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams, and Zubin Mehenti during ESPN’s KJZ segment talked about how Rodgers has helped the Packers’ roster develop their overall game.

When Jones was asked as to how it felt to receive the ball from someone of Rodgers’ pedigree, the running back said that given the latter’s throwing prowess, one at times simply has to turn around to make a catch.

“Sometimes all you have to do is turn and the ball’s right there sitting on your numbers. I’ve had a couple of catches, where I’ve been like, ‘How did I catch that?’ So he in a way caught that for me. All I had to do was turn. So he makes the game easier,” Jones said.

Be it a wide receiver or a running back, Rodgers’ experience is something that every player in the locker room can tap into and learn from.

“Rodgers understands (the game), he also helps you develop your game. Not only as a running back, but also as a receiver, we’re learning about those back shoulder throws. So he’s helping us develop our game,” he added.

With the Packers taking on division rivals Detroit Lions next, can Rodgers breach the 40 touchdown-mark and help his team get their 10th win of the season?
