Aaron Rodgers: "It was here or not play"

Our Summary

After his first practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed the media, revealing that although he considered offers from other teams, notably the Vikings and Giants, his connection with Coach Mike Tomlin made Pittsburgh the clear choice. Rodgers emphasized that he didn’t choose the Steelers for ego but because it felt right for his personal growth. While not all Steelers fans are thrilled with his signing, his contract's structure is favorable, and success could lead to a seventh Super Bowl win for the team, ultimately winning over any skeptics.
