Ranking NFL quarterbacks on their potential cornhole talents

You may be surprised to not find Aaron Rodgers at the top of our list, but it’s important to heed his advice and relax. While that advice did not cover fan reactions to him coming in at number six on FanSided’s ranking of NFL quarterbacks based on their cornhole potential, I’m gonna go ahead and say that the logic still applies.
There’s no doubt that Rodgers will go down as one of the best quarterbacks of all time, but is that enough to be Hall of Fame caliber on the cornhole pitch? I’m not so sure.
One positive development is that new teammate Jimmy Graham has already stepped up by hosting his own charity cornhole tournament to get ready for the season. It’s this type of preparation that shows there truly is no offseason. If Rodgers and Graham are able to establish a connection on the football field, the sky is the limit (get it, because Jimmy Graham is a pilot) for what they can do together on a cornhole pitch.
No word yet on whether the regulation bean bags will have to be softened to allow Clay Matthews to play, which I have to admit would make for a pretty outstanding future State Farm commercial.
