This season, Aaron Rodgers experienced a tremendous professional rebirth. It was his second season in head coach Matt LaFleur’s offense, and everything clicked. Freed from the schematically limited Mike McCarthy offense, Rodgers finally got past the need to create big plays randomly, and trusted the structure. He set personal records as a starter with a 70.7% completion rate and 48 touchdown passes, and his passer rating of 121.5 was the second-highest of his career, behind only his 2011 season. He finished first in passing DVOA (Football Outsiders’ opponent-adjusted per-play metric), and second in passing DYAR (Football Outsiders’ opponent-adjusted cumulative metric) behind only Patrick Mahomes.
