GREEN BAY — Aaron Rodgers remembers what it was like.
Even though it’s been over a decade since the Green Bay Packers two-time NFL MVP was a backup quarterback — save for those broken collarbone years in 2013 and 2017 when he was relegated to clipboard holder and sideline cheerleader until he was healthy again — Rodgers hasn’t forgotten what it was like to bide his time behind Brett Favre. He also hasn’t forgotten how important it was to him to use scout-team work in practice to accelerate his development.
“Most of your development comes during training camp and preseason (games),” Rodgers recalled of his backup days.
