Rodgers comments on his wide receivers

While the Packers did use three draft picks at the receiver position, the quarterback decided to sit out the OTAs this summer. He said his presence would have made no difference to how the OTA's played out.

"You know, not really. Training camp is a long experience. There's plenty of time for conversations, for practice, for a lot of the things they expect them to do in the regular season. I rely on the coaching staff to pass on the message as we're learning the offense, and then I'm kind of the 202 professor.
"I feel like there's been a few guys who've made a jump mentally as we've gotten into the second and third week of camp. Sammy [Watkins] being one of them, I feel like he's been playing faster and making more precise decisions. But again, you've got to have realistic expectations for all our guys, not just the young players."

The quarterback said that the young receievers need to be more consistent. He said that there have been "a lot of drops, a lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route," per ESPN.
