Even during OTAs, Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson are capable of producing the wow play for the Green Bay Packers.

During a team drill on Tuesday, Rodgers and Nelson delivered one of those special plays with Rodgers threading the needle between two defenders and Nelson contorting his body to get two feet inbounds along the back of the end zone for the score.

The chemistry between Rodgers and Nelson remains inextinguishable.

We know each other on the field really well, Rodgers said on Tuesday. He understands when the balls coming out, where he needs to be in certain spots. Weve done so many things in practice over the years. Hes always seeing the game through the quarterbacks eyes. He knows timing and spacing and second and third reactions better than anybody thats ever been here.

Even after Nelson missed the entire 2015 season with a knee injury, the connection between quarterback and receiver never suffered. Rodgers found Nelson for 97 completions and 1,257 yards in 2017, with 14 of the connections ending in touchdowns. No other quarterback and receiver combined for more last season.

How do two players so in sync get better during a June practice? Rodgers said the key is always working to build the chemistry.

Its just continuing to try and stay on the same page with him, and build, Rodgers said. Every season hes been healthy, weve had some pretty big years.

The numbers are undeniable. Over his last five healthy seasons, Nelson has produced 397 catches, 6,098 yards and 57 touchdowns with the majority of the production coming from the right arm of Rodgers. He also has four seasons with at least 1,200 yards and three with 12 or more touchdowns.

Rodgers and Nelson will enter their ninth season together in 2017. The chemistry between quarterback and receiver remains as strong as ever.
