Aaron Rodgers likes his footballs inflated

Not every quarterback likes their footballs deflated. 

Green Bay Packers pivot Aaron Rodgers is one that would rather throw a football filled with air and isn't a fan of officials deflating balls prior to the game. 

"I have a major problem with the way it goes down, to be honest with you," Rodgers said on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show. "The majority of the time, they take air out of the football. I think that, for me, is a disadvantage."

The amount of air in an NFL football has been a hot topic this week after the New England Patriots were accused of deflating footballs to gain an unfair advantage in the AFC title game.

"The majority of quarterbacks, I would say more than half, are maybe on the other end of the spectrum and like it on the flatter side," he said. "My belief is that there should be a minimum air-pressure requirement but not a maximum. There's no advantage, in my opinion - we're not kicking the football - there's no advantage in having a pumped-up football."

Rodgers did add, though, that there is an advantage to throwing a football with less air in it. 

"There is, if you don't have strong grip pressure or smaller hands, an advantage to having a flat football, though, because that is easier to throw. So I think that is something they need to look at. There should be a minimum on the air pressure but not a maximum. Every game they're taking air out of the footballs I'm throwing, and I think that's a disadvantage for the way that I like them prepped."
