Hard Knocks is just the gift that keeps on giving.
In the latest episode of the iconic HBO series, which features the Jets this season, the team’s quarterbacks had a bit of a fun exercise at the expense of Aaron Rodgers.
During a meeting, the Jets backup quarterbacks were shown two stills of Rodgers side-by-side during practice and given one direction: guess which one was a run and which one was a pass.
The game should be hard. After all, your star quarterback should be pretty good at faking runs. But it didn’t exactly go as you’d think.
On the very first clip, Zach Wilson guessed correctly on the first try and then looked at Rodgers and said, “You’re f------ easy.”

Rodgers, wearing a smile, looked to Wilson and whispered, “What’d you say?” before laughing it off.
The quarterbacks continued to guess as Rodgers watched in silence. Backup Tim Doyle went on to explain on one clip that the four-time MVP “shortchanges the right one, extends the left one.” Rodgers responded by drinking a sip of water from his massive bottle before simply saying: “shortchange.”
