New team, same jersey number for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Officially announced by the team, Rodgers will wear No. 8, carrying over the same digits he wore the past two seasons with the New York Jets.

It’s an expected choice. Though Rodgers wore No. 12 during his Green Bay Packers’ tenure, the odds of him doing the same in Pittsburgh were slim. That number is unofficially retired by the Steelers in honor of QB Terry Bradshaw, who led the team to four Super Bowls during the 1970s dynasty.
