Wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling chose the San Francisco 49ers over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers did all he could to bring him East. Per The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, Valdes-Scantling was “50-50” in his decision to sign with either team and noted Rodgers made clear he was hoping for a reunion.
“He wanted me back over there,” Valdes-Scantling said, via Barrows.
Rodgers and Valdes-Scantling, better known as MVS, played in Green Bay for four years from 2018-2021. Over that span, Valdes-Scantling caught 123 passes for more than 2,100 yards and 13 touchdowns, a downfield playmaker who led the league in yards-per-catch in 2020.
