Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, is widely regarded as the best Hail Mary thrower in NFL history. His incredible ability to launch prayers into the end zone was on full display during a recent game on Monday night.
In a stunning moment that left the football world in awe, the New York Jets found themselves with just eight seconds left in the half, at their own 48-yard line. Instead of playing it safe and trying to work their way into field goal range, they took a chance and let Rodgers work his magic.
And work his magic he did. With a flick of his wrist, Rodgers launched a bomb downfield, a 52-yard beauty that landed in the waiting arms of Allen Lazard for a sensational touchdown. The score tightened the game to a 20-17 margin as the teams headed into halftime.
Rodgers’ heroics didn’t go unnoticed. Fans, fellow athletes, and even some of the biggest names in sports couldn’t help but express their disbelief at Rodgers’ feat. Among those who chimed in were Patrick Mahomes, LeBron James, Joe Namath, and many others.
This incredible play marked the fourth Hail Mary touchdown pass of Rodgers’ career, solidifying his reputation as the king of the long shot. When it comes to making the impossible look routine, Aaron Rodgers is in a league of his own.
