Daily News | Packers’ Aaron Rodgers is a familiar challenge for Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon
Jonathan Gannon has game-planned for plenty of opposing quarterbacks over his 10-plus years in the NFL. But the Eagles defensive coordinator arguably has the most experience prepping for the star quarterback of the team’s next opponent: Back-to-back MVP and future Hall of Famer, Aaron Rodgers.
“He’s a special player. That’s all there is to it. He’s going to the Hall of Fame. He’s one of the best that’s ever done it.” “[Watson is] big and fast,” Gannon said. “I like to talk...about rookies because the guys I talk to about their rookie skill sets are our offensive coaches. I’ll ask [offensive coordinator Shane Steichen or Moorehead, ‘Hey, did you like this guy coming out?’ And they’re all like, ‘Yeah, yeah, big and fast, and has got a big-time catch radius.’ We’ve got a big-time challenge because he’s got a guy that can deal it to him.
