When Aaron Rodgers is your quarterback, there’s no plays off. Still with one of the NFL’s most impressive arms and the ability to make no-look throws, receivers like Calvin Austin III they better be ready every single rep.
“Knowing 8 being our quarterback. Gold jacket, he can get the ball, he sees the field,” Austin told reporters Saturday via the team’s YouTube channel when asked if Rodgers is opening up the offense. “To me what it screams is there’s no dead routes. Somebody running somebody off.”
Austin admitted he wasn’t sure if the middle of the field was more of a focal point under Rodgers than past quarterbacks.
