So much time is spent in the shotgun that the 5/7-step drops are few and far between. A lot of under center work in today's NFL is working PA boot.

I'm not saying that Mahomes doesn't need some work with his feet, obviously he does as that has been known for months, but the significance of it being perfect is not near what it once was. Just watch Rodgers. He sits back in the gun a very large portion of the time, and his drops look like he is just slowly walking backwards. Doesn't really matter though, cause he puts the ball where it needs to be almost every time he lets it fly.
In 2016, Alex Smith threw less than 50 passes after lining up under center.
