The person who currently holds the biggest sway over Aaron Rodgers' playing future is Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, as the legendary QB evaluates his next move.
Coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized to Sam Darnold the importance of using his deep-ball throwing talent, saying, 'You're as talented of a deep-ball thrower as I've been around, and I want you to take the opportunities...' This statement implies Darnold's growing confidence and the Vikings' intent to leverage his skills in their offensive strategy, especially with the challenges posed by defenses.
