It is December and the Packers are 6–8, five games out of first place in the NFC North. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is struggling by his lofty standards, with 23 touchdowns against 10 interceptions through 14 games—already his most interceptions in a season since 2010.
Last week, amid the struggles Rodgers and the team has faced this season, a story from Kalyn Kahler of The Athletic detailed the future Hall of Famer's exacting standards for his wide receivers.
“Aaron Rodgers expects his offense to know somewhere around 30 hand signals,” Kahler tweeted last week, summarizing the report. “Every [Saturday] players are tested on them, but the tricky part is the signals aren’t officially taught, there’s no real record of them, [and] Rodgers often revives signal from [years] before.”
