Hard Knocks sneak peek shows Aaron Rodgers making the play call that led to an awesome Zach Wilson bomb

After Zach Wilson threw a 57-yard bomb to Malik Taylor in the 2023 Hall of Fame Game last week, he gave the credit to … Aaron Rodgers.

“Yeah, great call by Aaron Rodgers,” he said after the exhibition game against the Cleveland Browns, explaining that offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett called the play, but that the star QB had suggested it. “I think it was just that play, he wasn’t on the headset.”

Thanks to a Hard Knocks preview, we have proof! Rodgers said five words into his headset: “Throw it up to Malik.”

If this is what Hard Knocks is going to be like, it’ll be fun.
