At his first training-camp press conference at St. Vincent\u2019s College in Latrobe, Rodgers brushed it off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m gonna throw some picks,\u201d he told reporters, \u201cbut I\u2019m gonna throw some touchdowns, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He laughed when first asked about the miscue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to get that out the way,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cIt\u2019s good to get it out the way. I mean, anybody that\u2019s watched me practice over the years, you know, you like to try certain throws at certain times. Anybody that\u2019s watched me in the games knows I\u2019ve been pretty stellar at taking care of the football over the years. So there\u2019s gonna be picks, for sure. I\u2019m gonna try to fit certain things in. You know, you gotta deal with some sweat on the ball from time to time. So it\u2019s gonna be a good challenge for me throwing in this heat every single day, I look forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers has said in the past that practice is the time to take chances. He doesn\u2019t take as many chances in games. As demonstrated by his all-time best 1.4-percent interception percentage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the first throw of his first team period at his first Steelers training-camp practice, quarterback Aaron Rodgers&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-20521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
