Aaron Rodgers: Brett Favre Threw No-Look Passes Long Before Patrick Mahomes
During his weekly segment on The Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rodgers turned in yet another stellar performance. The Green Bay Packers' quarterback talked extensively about NFL quarterbacks throwing no-look passes and seemed to think it was ridiculous that Patrick Mahomes is seemingly credited with inventing them.

The story about Rodgers throwing them during walkthroughs as a rookie and pissing off his coaches is pretty classic.
Once again, Rodgers brought great content in his weekly segment. It was informative and entertaining. These spots have been a home run for Pat McAfee.
