The offensive scheme was limiting last year. His mobility is not great, but as a dropback passer and one of those guys you do not want to face in two-minute, if he has pieces around him, he can still go win.

Positive signalProjection

Rodgers' scheme fit improves under McCarthy; can still win in two-minute situations.

One voter, a defensive coordinator, kept Rodgers in Tier 1, citing his intelligence and throwing ability. Another voter scoffed at seeing Rodgers so low, asking rhetorically "Who would you rather have running your offense, Jalen Hurts or Aaron Rodgers?" Rodgers' familiarity with new coach Mike McCarthy's offense from their days together in Green Bay should help. A defensive coach said "The offensive scheme was limiting last year. His mobility is not great, but as a dropback passer and one of those guys you do not want to face in two-minute, if he has pieces around him, he can still go win." Another defensive coach said "He's a 3 that can go to a 2."
