Rodgers' 6.4 ADOT favors YAC-heavy receivers over traditional deep threats.

Rodgers' 2025 ADOT of 6.4 yards—well below his career average of 8.5—indicates he is prioritizing quick releases to avoid hits. This scheme fits receivers with strong after-the-catch ability and YAC production, as they will shoulder more burden creating explosive plays. The source expects this low ADOT to persist given Rodgers' recent trend (no figure above 9.0 since 2019), making slot and versatile receivers like Bernard more valuable in the Steelers' offense.
