Rookie hazing is officially a thing of the past (good riddance), but that doesn't stop teammates from pulling innocuous fast ones on the first-year players from time-to-time.

That's exactly what happened to Green Bay Packers rookie quarterback, Sean Clifford, before Wednesday's joint practice with the New England Patriots.

The Packers are going up against Bill Belichick's defense, which plays all kinds of mind games with quarterbacks. Especially quarterbacks. The team was just getting Clifford used to all the different looks he's about to receive during practice.
