In , all three QBs selected were mobile. The two more mobile passers that year had much more on-filed success, though. Mitchell Trubisky was the first QB taken. In , you can separate the busts from the successes almost entirely based on mobility. The same can be said in , where Kyler Murray has become a top player in the league.
Daniel Jones and Dwayne Haskins have not. However, that is more about injury and lack of opportunity behind Aaron Rodgers , respectively. The class is interesting because it features the traditional pocket passer with the best chance for success in half a decade. And then he reminds everyone with a performance like he had Sunday in Atlanta, in which he rushed six times -- all on scrambles -- for a career-high 60 yards.
His 60 yards rushing against the Falcons was nearly 40 percent of his season total. Luck and Colin Kaepernick are the only other quarterbacks to rush for at least 60 yards in a game this season. The worry when Rodgers takes off is, of course, his health.
He suffered a concussion in at Detroit when he scrambled and failed to slide at the end of the play. Rodgers sprinted up the field and was able to spike the ball with 20 seconds remaining. Rodgers not done yet. Now facing a third-and from the 50, Rodgers again looked the way of his favorite target. It took him just over two seconds to fire a pass to Adams, who ran a curl route on the left side of the field.
He leapt into the air to bring down the pass and was immediately tagged down with 12 seconds on the clock. The Packers were forced to rush up to the line and spike the ball again. Rodgers stopped the clock with three seconds remaining, trusting Crosby to handle the rest.
The veteran quarterback didn't even have to see Crosby line up to know how the game was going to end. He pumped his fist as soon as the whistle was blown with digits still on the clock. Even before the kick, AaronRodgers12 knew.
