The number that jumps off the page for the future Hall of Fame quarterback is an average depth of target (ADOT) of 10.1 yards. In former offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's system a year ago, he averaged just 6.6 yards per throw. That was a career low.

Rodgers' ADOT jumps to 10.1 under McCarthy, up from 6.6 last year.

Under Mike McCarthy, Rodgers is operating with a significantly expanded downfield role compared to his final year under Arthur Smith. His average depth of target (ADOT) increased from a career-low 6.6 yards to 10.1 yards, and his average time to throw rose from 2.60 seconds to 2.84 seconds, giving him more opportunity to look downfield and resemble his MVP-caliber self with the Packers. The source notes McCarthy is giving him the time and encouragement to operate in his element, though physical limitations may prevent him from fully recapturing his peak maneuverability.
