     most pick-sixes in NFL history is a list of Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers: Brett Favre is first with 31 Bryan Bulaga Jersey , Dan Marino and Joe Namath are tied for second with 28, and Drew Brees and Peyton Manning are tied for fourth with 27.It might seem surprising that great quarterbacks threw the most pick-sixes, but it shouldn’t be. Bad quarterbacks get benched long before they have a chance to throw two dozen pick-sixes. You have to be great to play long enough to get that record. (Career records for bad plays are usually owned by Hall of Famers in all sports: Reggie Jackson struck out the most times in MLB history and Karl Malone has the most turnovers in NBA history.)Pro Football Reference recently updated its pick-six data and now has every quarterback’s pick-six stats going back to 1950, and that serves as a reminder of how many great quarterbacks threw a lot of pick-sixes. But it also serves as a reminder of two great quarterbacks who stand out for how few pick-sixes they’ve thrown.Aaron Rodgers has thrown just two pick-sixes in his career, while attempting 5,492 passes. That’s an incredibly low ratio; Rodgers is in the all-time Top 20 quarterbacks in total passes thrown, and everyone else in the Top 20 has thrown at least 10 pick-sixes.Tom Brady also has a very low total J'Mon Moore Color Rush Jersey , relative to his spot on the attempts leaderboard. Brady is fourth in NFL history with 9,375 pass attempts. But Brady has thrown a pick-six just 13 times. Everyone else in the Top 5 in attempts has thrown more than twice as many pick-sixes as Brady.Throwing a lot of pick-sixes doesn’t make a quarterback bad. But throwing few of them is undeniably good. The pick-six is the worst play a quarterback can make, and Rodgers and Brady have avoided them like no one else. Matt LaFleur has his guy.More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinPackers post-Super Bowl 2019 mock draft roundupGreen Bay Packers 2019 impending free agents primerAaron Rodgers' offseason to feature golf, not knee surgeryPhotos of the Week: 1/27/19 – 2/2/19Top Tweets: Wisconsin athletes survive 2019 polar vortexThe Green Bay Packers hired Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator, the team officially announced Wednesday morning.Hackett spent the majority of the last four seasons in Jacksonville, serving as quarterbacks coach (2015-16) and offensive coordinator (Week 9 of 2016 – Week 12 of 2018). Hackett was relieved of his coordinator duties this fall after a 24-21 loss to Buffalo on Nov. 25, a result of Blake Bortles' struggles at quarterback and a lack of production on offense. However https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Nick-Perry-Jersey , the Jaguars went on to average 9.6 points per game over the final five contests without Hackett on the sideline.His best season as coordinator was 2017, when the Jaguars ranked fifth with 26.1 points per game and聽boasted the top rushing offense (141.4 yards per game).
