He gave me kind of the baseline of like, 'All right, hitch, slant, routes, a couple of combinations here and there, some formation signals …' We would kind of evolve it as we went. So it started off with probably 25, 30 signals and then it ended up being like 75 by the end of [the season].

Howard learned Rodgers' 75-signal system as rookie backup, starting with 25-30 baseline signals.

Howard, the Steelers rookie backup quarterback, was initiated into Rodgers' signal system during training camp. Rodgers provided him with a baseline of roughly 25-30 signals covering hitches, slants, routes, combinations, and formation signals, which evolved to approximately 75 signals by season's end. Howard noted that the system evolved as the season progressed and that Rodgers keeps communication brief in the huddle, requiring teammates to stay tuned in.
