Didn't watch the interview, only looked at the picture.

From this picture, I'd say that Rodgers looks really in shape this year.  Looking back a few years I see chipmunk cheeks.  No so anymore.  Also...just me or does he have large hands?  They almost look freakishly big for his body.

Thinking he put in a little more time on conditioning this off-season.

Ya his hands are huge. I think Most NFL Qb's are.

I'm sure conditioning/lifting is part of it, but I'm sure his diet that he always talks about played just as big of a role.

Aaron Rodgers only has 9 3/8" hands.  Big, but not monstrous; just a tad larger than mine.  For comparison, Brett Favre had 10.38" hands.

The Athletic runs an excellent series on Top QBs. Writer Mike Sando asks 55 NFL HC's GMs and Assistants to put all the QBs into 1 of 5 Tiers

Rodgers came out on top again. A couple of comments below:

"Another voter explained that “since we do not know what plays are called and we do not know what his audible ability is from the outside, I’m looking at this as who do you want on your team and who is hardest to defend by your definitions? Rodgers comes out tops on both.”

Another Rodgers defender said he charted all the catchable passes Rodgers delivered that were not caught through the bulk of last season.
His conclusion: Rodgers’ incomplete passes were better than a lot of starters’ highlights."

“Rodgers is the only one that can do everything with the least talent,” a different defensive coordinator said. “Brady makes Tier 1 decisions but cannot carry the team in the same way. New England has the system and the running game. Put all the other quarterbacks on that (Packers) team and who do you think would succeed? Not many.”

I know Rodgers hands are actually relatively pretty small for a NFL QB... but they're big compared to the average Dude's of 7.4inch

Ok guys, come clean.  Who has the 7.4 inch hands?

 

Let's just be honest, it just makes you look cooler in the public shower.

What a great quote to post.  Thank you.

Two different measurements.  Average size of 7.4 is tip of finger to wrist.  QB hand size is measured from pinkie to thumb.

12 to 81 TD

Speaking of arm strength, Aaron Rodgers rockets a pass past a diving Kevin King to Geronimo Allison. Touchdown. Not sure how Rodgers fit the football in there. After the play, Rodgers stood back and flexed his right bicep.

Maybe his barefoot thing is finally paying off. Shed a few pounds of negative ions.
