After two seasons with the New York Jets where there was a lot of pressure to be the savior of a moribund franchise, 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers now just has to be one of the guys and play winning football with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
At least, that’s how ESPN’s Peter Schrager sees things. During an appearance Monday morning on ESPN’s Get Up, Schrager stated he believes Rodgers can just focus on playing football, rather than being the face of the franchise and carrying the pressure of being a franchise savior, similar to how he was viewed in New York after coming over from Green Bay to a franchise that hasn’t won in years.
