Aaron Rodgers took his time joining the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. While reports indicated early that the Steelers were interested in Rodgers, the veteran quarterback didn’t sign with them until mandatory minicamp in early June. Rodgers explained that the delay was because he was dealing with personal issues. However, in his short time with the team, he’s already making an impact. He was even named their lone offensive captain Monday.
“I don’t think anybody’s surprised by that,” Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said Tuesday during his weekly press conference via the team’s YouTube channel. “Not only because of his resumé and experience, but what he’s displayed since he’s been here, in terms of being a great team guy and communicating and leading and sharing his experience in the lens through which he sees the game with others.
