Aaron Rodgers found his name in the headlines quite often during his time with the New York Jets. Most of it wasn’t for good reason. Whether it was missing a small section of offseason workouts, making a red line comment about Mike Williams, or just the overall poor form the Jets were in for those two years, Rodgers became something of a media villain.
As the Pittsburgh Steelers waited for months this offseason for Rodgers to make a decision, those negative headlines made many wary of the veteran. Many in the media thought he might be a locker-room cancer in Pittsburgh and worried he could tear apart the room Mike Tomlin has built.
