Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson & Randall Cobb

With the help of Nelson and Cobb, Rogers can sling the ball to any piece of grass on the field. Nelson and Cobb are two of the league’s most dynamic threats. Cobb is as nasty as 190-pounders come. He’s electrifying in the open field and while he’s averaging 11.4 yards per reception this season, he’s bound to pop off a few homers and boost that average.

But what Nelson and Rodgers have is special. They’ve got a twin-like connection. Rodgers knows where Nelson will be before he gets there, and his throws are on the money. While their signaled language can get farfetched, it’s clear we’ll never know the meaning. They get it, and it works. Nelson is a rare breed of wide receiver that plays like a quarterback and dissects defenses. His yardage total, which leads the NFL, proves that.

Rodgers is one of the NFL’s elite passers. He’s got two, unique receivers to target that provide exploiting match-ups.
