The Pittsburgh Steelers signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal. Rodgers is 41 years old, and he will be 42 years old on December 2.
This will very well be the final season for him in the NFL. Once the season ends, he will ride into the sunset in his NFL career and potentially have his name called into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, five years down the road.
NFL Analyst Believes That Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Will Be a First Ballot Hall of Famer
Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports wrote an article about many current different players in the NFL who are destined to wind up in Canton, Ohio in the future. On the list, he mentioned Rodgers on there. He was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL over the last decade.
Rodgers was with the Green Bay Packers from 2005 to 2022. He played for the New York Jets in 2023 and 2024. He was not a full-time starter with the Packers until the 2008 NFL season and took over for Brett Favre. Kerr said about Rodgers,
“No matter how the end of Aaron Rodgers’ career is panning out, he’s still a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Rodgers has four MVP awards, trailing only Peyton manning for the most in NFL history (five) and he’s one of five quarterbacks in league history with 500 passing touchdowns (fifth all time with 503).
Rodgers has the best career touchdown-to-interception ratio in NFL history (4.3, 503 touchdowns to 116 interceptions) and has the best career passer rating in NFL history (102.6). He has five seasons with 4,000+ passing yards and five or fewer interceptions while every other quarterback in NFL history has only four. Oh, and Rodgers has a Super Bowl championship and Super Bowl MVP.
Rodgers is a first-ballot Hall of Famer.”
He won one Super Bowl MVP and won many NFL MVPs. Some people believe that Rodgers should have won more than one Super Bowl in his career with the Packers. Maybe he will win a second Super Bowl ring with the Steelers. If that were the case, Pittsburgh fans would be happy, and it would be the seventh Super Bowl title in franchise history and it would be the first one since the 2008 season.
During his NFL career, Rodgers has completed 65.1% of his passes for 62,952 yards, 503 touchdowns, and 116 interceptions. His touchdown to interception ratio throughout his career has been insane. Rodgers also rushed for 3,573 yards on 741 carries and 35 touchdowns, along with averaging 4.8 yards per carry. There is no doubt that Rodgers was one of the most polarizing quarterbacks during his era and one of the best at his position also.
