Rodgers didn’t just draw defenses offsides — he turned mistakes into yardage. Since 2006, Rodgers led the NFL with 84 free‑play pass attempts, racking up more than any other QB. From 2010 onward, he averaged roughly 225 air yards per season on those plays — nearly 25 yards per attempt.
His peak came in 2015:
🧀 16 free‑play tries
🧀 407 air yards (25.4 YPA)
🧀 7 completions including 2 TDs, all deep shots
In 2015 alone, Packers games with accepted free‑play yardage gained about 80 yards per game off those snaps.
