Connecting with '12': Inside Aaron Rodgers' demands of his receivers

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling first drew the ire of Aaron Rodgers last summer.

He wasn't the only one, but he might be the one who learned the most from it.

There was Valdes-Scantling, one of three then-rookie wideouts repping with Rodgers during a 2018 training camp practice. No one could seemingly make a play for Rodgers. When they weren't lined up incorrectly, they ran the wrong routes or misunderstood Rodgers' pre-snap instructions or simply dropped the ball.

The drill ended when Rodgers reached a boiling point and flung the ball toward the tackling dummies on the sideline.
