Aaron Rodgers has been trying to reunite with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for years, and now, at long last, he finally has. The veteran wide receiver spoke to reporters on Wednesday for the first time since signing with the Steelers. Currently on the practice squad, he made no secret of why he opted to come to Pittsburgh.
“This guy next to me got me here”, Valdes-Scantling explained, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, referring to Rodger. “He’s been trying to get me around since we left Green Bay”. The two played together for four seasons with the Packers in 2018-2021.
