Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, has definitely made quite an impression on his teammates as both an authority figure and a hard-working athlete. Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward, recently appeared as a guest on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’ where he lavished praise on Rodgers as the team prepares for the 2025 regular season.
Rodgers is known for being pretty loud on the field, not only toward opponents but even toward his own teammates during practice. While this may not be liked by everyone, Heyward feels that Rodgers’ presence and style of training has helped everyone in the team.
“I think when you talk about Aaron, he talks a lot of crap. But, man, I love how he goes about his work. He approaches it the right way. He’s asking questions. He’s been asking us about Week 1, how to prepare for that night meetings. You know, he’s all about being locked in with this group, which is great.” Cam Heyward spoke about Aaron Rodgers in his latest appearance on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’.

Aaron Rodgers, apart from being a loudmouth on the field, is definitely a talented quarterback. However, his signing with the Steelers for the upcoming football year was in nobody’s books. Still, Rodgers seems pretty confident of his time with the Steelers, even going on to remark that he is confident that the team will make it to the Super Bowl. As of now, Rodgers has won only one Super Bowl ring in his entire NFL career and is desperate to bring another one home before he hangs up his cleats for good.
Aaron Rodgers’ Career End Could End Mike Tomlin’s As Well
Bringing Aaron Rodgers to their roster was definitely a risky move by the Pittsburgh Steelers and their head coach Mike Tomlin. However, the team had been adamant right from the start that they wanted Rodgers to be their starting quarterback in the 2025 NFL season. With Week 1 right around the corner, there are many who are continuing to cast doubt on what Rodgers will bring to the team.
Former New York Jets general manager, Mike Tannenbaum, recently predicted that Aaron Rodgers’ making a blunder in his stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers will not only endanger his own career, but even that of Tomlin. According to Tannenbaum, Tomlin may be simply shifted to another team if everything does not go as per plan this year. Tannenbaum has been continuously calling out the Steelers for choosing Rodgers as their starting quarterback.
