The latest episode of Hard Knocks taught us one important new thing about Aaron Rodgers: he likes to pick up the grass before practice and games for a competitive advantage. (That is, aside from how hard his play fakes are to spot.)
On the one hand, the New York Jets quarterback explained that this old grass-grabbing habit helps his hand dexterity with the ball. Conversely, it also helps Rodgers assess the wind and how he might aim deeper passes downfield. And honestly, Rodgers’ explanation makes perfect sense. It’s kind of cool he’s found this gamesmanship tradition for himself over the years of his long career.
