Does It Matter If Aaron Rodgers Is There For Steelers’ OTAs?

Does it matter if Aaron Rodgers is with the Steelers for OTAs?

The Steelers begin OTAs a week from tomorrow, and Aaron Rodgers is still nowhere in sight—but does it matter? Pittsburgh has a new quarterback room this year, and one can include Mason Rudolph as new to Arthur Smith’s offense.

But does a 41-year-old future Hall of Famer benefit much from OTAs, if at all? Even the Steelers may implicitly acknowledge that Rodgers’ presence isn’t a big deal, considering they voluntarily cut down on OTA practices this year. Normally Tomlin seizes every opportunity (but one—Dave and Buster’s Day) to put his players on the field.
