Will Rodgers' connection with Steelers teammates yield wins?

PITTSBURGH -- Nick Herbig wasn't quite sure what to expect of Aaron Rodgers.

To the 23-year-old, Rodgers was a larger-than-life persona, a main character of the NFL for nearly as long as the edge rusher had been alive.

So when Herbig met Rodgers at Cameron Heyward's house the night before the Pittsburgh Steelers' June minicamp, he hardly expected to be playfully needled by the four-time MVP.

"[Heyward] had a little card game, and [Rodgers] was just cracking jokes the whole time," said Herbig, adding that Rodgers teased him by calling him a "one-trick pony" for his signature speed rush move.
