I think it just comes down to the way you throw it. On Tuesday, Rodgers appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and spoke about the art of the Hail Mary.
Rodgers could be considered the best Hail Mary artist in NFL history, and he revealed the secret to his wondrous ways this week. Most Hail Mary completions are more luck than anything else, but once a player throws three of them, there’s something deeper going on.

At the end of the second quarter in the Packers’ 2017 playoff game against the New York Giants, Rodgers unwinded from Green Bay’s 53-yard-line and Randall Cobb wound up with the catch in the back of the end zone for the touchdown. His third Hail Mary wasn’t as significant as the first two, but it was still impressive nonetheless. This time, Jeff Janis was able to come down with it in the end zone. Rodgers took the snap from the 41-yard-line, scrambled to his left, and chucked up an off-balanced throw from almost the same spot Murray threw his last Sunday. The Packers trailed by seven points with five seconds left in the game. Rodgers accomplished the feat again just a year later, this time against the Cardinals. Amazingly, tight end Richard Rodgers outleaped the Lions defense and snagged the Hail Mary for a 61-yard, game-winning touchdown. With the Packers trailing by two and no time left on the clock, Rodgers scrambled around in the backfield, dodged a pass-rusher, and heaved a bomb that traveled 67 yards in the air. Rodgers completed maybe the most impressive of his three Hail Marys in 2015 against the Detroit Lions. Most NFL quarterbacks would be lucky to complete one Hail Mary touchdown throughout their entire career. RELATED: If Gardner Minshew Is Traded, Which Teams Should Try to Steal Him?
