The last few seasons have not been kind to Aaron Rodgers. In 2023, during his first year with the New York Jets, Rodgers tore his Achilles almost as soon as the season started. Then, in 2024, he didn’t look like himself, struggling for much of the year. However, despite putting together a Hall of Fame worthy career, Rodgers opted not to retire this offseason. Instead, he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers explained why he decided to return Saturday after the Steelers’ third training camp practice.
“I fell in love with this game when I was six years old, and I wanted to have that closure and give back to the game one more time, the way that it’s given to me,” Rodgers said on NFL Network.
