It would be far from accurate to call Aaron Rodgers a running quarterback. That would imply tucking and sprinting up-field is his preferred option every time he drops back in the pocket, or that his immense resume, which includes five 4,000-plus passing yard seasons, isn’t to be taken too seriously.
It would be much closer to the truth to say that the Packers quarterback is always moving his feet – in the pocket, scrambling outside it, occasionally roaming past the line of scrimmage.
Containing Rodgers will be huge on Sunday, when the Packers come to FedExField for their NFC Wild Card Round matchup against the Redskins.
