Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling Was in Awe of Aaron Rodgers' Insane No-Look Pass Against Bears
By Karl Rasmussen
Aaron Rodgers defied all logic on Thursday night when he heaved a no-look bomb downfield to second-year wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The QB's body was facing the left side of the field, but he managed to fire an absolute dime to MVS for a huge gain.
Valdes-Scantling has since commented on the no-look pass, giving high praise to No. 12 via Twitter.

Rodgers looks like he's gearing up to throw a pass towards the left sideline. As you can see in the clip, several Chicago defenders gravitate towards that side of the field as they read the quarterback's body position.
Instead, Rodgers whips a dart across the field to Valdes-Scantling who was running in the opposite direction for a 47-yard gain.
Packers staff has been quietly thrilled with the progress of Marquez Valdes-Scantling. What you're seeing isn't a fluke.

Rodgers did his best Pat Mahomes impression on that play, and as Valdes-Scantling proclaimed, the former MVP proved that he's truly a gifted passer and reader of defenses.
Rodgers and MVS aim to build a strong rapport in Year Two, and he clearly trusts the 24-year-old enough to throw up a no-look heave like this one.
