Overview
- With Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph absent, Tuesday's OTA left rookie Drew Allar and second-year Will Howard as the only quarterbacks on the field and gave both players heavy, live reps.
- Head coach Mike McCarthy said the last week of OTAs is dedicated to younger players getting reps, a deliberate move to speed evaluation of the two prospects.
- Allar reported measurable improvement in his footwork, timing and pocket rhythm after focused drills that coaches used to break old habits and rebuild his fundamentals.
- Allar also said Rodgers has mentored him by pulling him aside during drills and asking pointed questions in the film room to sharpen his reads and decision making.
- The work highlights a looming roster decision because the team rarely keeps four quarterbacks; training camp and the preseason will likely determine whether Allar, Howard or Mason Rudolph fills the backup and succession roles.
