“Yeah, we’re down on Nuss,” Jordan Rodgers said on Get Up. “I’m the one that was probably leading the bandwagon, saying that he was gonna be a Heisman hopeful. What we haven’t seen is the deep ball. I just think he’s not 100 percent. When you watch Garrett Nussmeier, it looks like every throw he’s throwing about 75 percent.”

“You never really see him step into one and rip it like we saw last year. That was his superpower. Under pressure with guys in his face, he could create a great amount of velocity and accuracy. Every ball just seems to be fluttering toward the perimeter. The downfield throws,” Rodgers said. “You see the numbers here [25% completion on 20+ yards downfield in 2025, 40% completion in 2024], are not what they were last year. That’s not just being inaccurate. Those balls aren’t driving downfield. They’re coming up short. It doesn’t look like he’s 100 percent. He did hurt his ab or oblique in Camp. Re-aggravated it against Clemson. Brian Kelly has said he looks healthy. To me, he just doesn’t look it.”
