For several months, all Pittsburgh Steelers President and owner Art Rooney II could do was speculate. To play the waiting game. Now that Aaron Rodgers is a Steeler, Rooney can talk beyond what-ifs. Interviewed during the first half of Saturday night’s preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rooney seemed elated to have Rodgers under contract, in the building, and as the team’s starting quarterback.
“Aaron’s come in and he’s been everything you could ask for in terms of working with his teammates, working with younger guys, working with the offense,” Rooney said during a mid-game interview with announcers Bob Pompeani and Charlie Batch.
