Improving Sam Darnold looks to this week's opponent Aaron Rodgers as a study aid

Sam Darnold spends part of his free time in the offseason watching film of Aaron Rodgers.

Darnold watches for work and for fun because he’s so impressed with the Packers’ quarterback.

“I look at Aaron all the time, just to watch some of the cool throws he’s able to make,” Darnold said during a Monday afternoon conference call. “He really is the most talented person I’ve ever seen - the way he’s able to get rid of the ball and throw the football. From that aspect, it’s fun as a quarterback.

“Knowing how hard the position is, knowing how hard it is to play it, it’s really is cool to be able to watch someone really make it look so easy.
