Good, bad, or something in-between, Aaron Rodgers’ time in Pittsburgh will set at least one record. So long as he takes one regular season snap in 2025, he’ll become the oldest player to ever play for the Steelers’ franchise. He’ll be the first 40-year-old player to ever suit up for the team.
Of course, it’s uncommon for anyone in their 40s to play in the NFL. Per Pro Football Reference’s Stathead, only 77 have in league history, including Rodgers the past two seasons with the New York Jets. That sounds like a lot but to put that in perspective, 249 players have played at age 38 or 39.
