Should Aaron Rodgers sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he won’t be throwing to George Pickens. Is that addition by subtraction or just plain subtraction? No one but Rodgers can answer that but beat writer Ray Fittipaldo believes the move won’t dissuade Rodgers from coming to Pittsburgh.
“Aaron Rodgers likes detail with his receivers. He likes his receivers to run patterns a certain way…I think he’s probably okay with it,” Fittipaldo told 93.7 The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller Thursday evening.
Pre and post-snap, Rodgers carries a high standard and eye for detail. It’s a large reason why rookie receivers have struggled to produce with him and even when veterans make errors, as Mike Williams did not running the “red line” that led to a game-ending interception, Rodgers has no problem calling them out.
