Through three days of Pittsburgh Steelers mandatory minicamp, one thing became obvious. Despite all his drama, quarterback Aaron Rodgers can still play. Rodgers acclimated himself to his new team quickly as any veteran would and pairing this up with how he performed last season with the New York Jets, you can see why many pundits are excited about the Steelers upcoming season.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reached out to NFL executives and coaches to get their favorite moves of the 2025 offseason and one offensive coach put the Steelers addition of Rodgers at the top of their list.

“He’s still throwing the s— out of the ball, honestly,” a veteran NFL offensive coach said. “He’s the best quarterback they’ve had since (Ben Roethlisberger). We will see how the body holds up, but I think he’s going to help them immensely.”
Last season, despite all the turmoil in New York, Rodgers found a way to throw for 3,897 yards in 17 starts. His 229 yards per game passing is more than 30 yards per game more than the 192 per game the Steelers averaged last season.
