GREEN BAY, Wis. – In his fifth season as a starter for the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers represents the modern-day shotgun quarterback.

He used the formation 36 times in the Packers’ wild-card playoff win over Minnesota, throwing a touchdown pass to John Kuhn from it and converting a long fourth down to Greg Jennings. He used the shotgun on first down (15 times), second down (eight) and third down (12).

“I never sat down and asked him why he likes it, but I know he does like it,” said quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo. “A lot.”
