The favorite throw of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn’t the one you’d probably expect.

Sure, over the years, Rodgers has hit a ton of receivers for big plays off of quick throws to the middle of the field, long-developing deep posts featuring play-action and the once unstoppable back-shoulder throws along the sidelines.

When asked by Kyle Brandt of The Ringer about his favorite type of throw, Rodgers gravitated toward the back-shoulder but ultimately picked a different throw.

“I’ve obviously loved the back-shoulder for so many years, but I think a transition go-ball is my favorite,” Rodgers told Brandt.

Rodgers then went on to explain everything that goes into making the throw, and how his little twist on the idea has helped create so many big plays.

“If you look at the way a lot of go balls are thrown on the outside, they’re taught, especially in the West Coast, it’s like 42-44 yards, on the red line, five yards from the sideline. That’s how it’s taught,” Rodgers said. “I’ve always felt like, the best time, I still do, if you can get the ball out quicker. If you have a guy that can beat a guy at the line of scrimmage, the defensive back’s first order of business is to get back at the hip. So a lot of times, they’re just trying to get even with a receiver and then look up for the ball. When a lot of times I can throw the ball a little lower.”

Rodgers even had a recent example.

“I had a great one with Davante last year against Philly on the right sideline, where, Tae, is so good at the line of scrimmage, beats his guy quickly, I no-hitch it and throw it a little bit lower, and by the time the guy gets to his hip and looks up, the ball is going by his head. So, I love the transition go-ball and we’ve hit a ton of those over the years.”

Here’s that play from Week 4 of last season:

Rodgers’ photographic memory painted the picture perfectly. Adams beat his man quick and knew to look back for the ball right away, and Rodgers threw it quick and low, eliminating the opportunity for Eagles cornerback Sidney Jones to recover and find the ball in time to make a play. Adams made the catch in stride while Jones frantically attempted to make up ground. Only a shoe-string tackle prevented a touchdown. Still, the play covered 58 yards and eventually set up a score.

Had Rodgers waited to make this throw, Jones might have recovered to the hip and been in a better position to defend the pass in the air. But throwing it early caught him in the middle of the recovery phase. Throwing it low ensured Jones wouldn’t be able to turn his head and locate the ball while still recovering.

When executed correctly, and in concert with the right receiver, this type of throw becomes nearly unguardable. The concept immediately challenges the cornerback, eliminates any sort of bracket coverage from the safety and sets up the opportunity for the receiver to create a chunk play, the lifeblood of any great offense.
