And the Pittsburgh Steelers are here for it.<\/p>\n

The Steelers have high hopes for 2025, and are trying to pull out all the stops to make the upcoming campaign a successful one with a return to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Central to that?<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh finally landed Aaron Rodgers after a 70-day gap between their initial meeting and the contract being signed.<\/p>\n

And more recently? On Tuesday, the 41-year-old four-time NFL MVP announced his plan to retire after this “last dance” season in The Steel City.<\/p>\n

“What better place to finish,” he said,<\/a> “than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL with Mike Tomlin and a great group of leadership and great guys and a city that expects you to win?”<\/p>\n

With a quarterback finally secured for the upcoming season, Steelers training camp is up and rolling at full strength.<\/p>\n

And speaking of coach Tomlin …<\/p>\n

He is overseeing a move back to an old routine for camp.<\/p>\n

The Steelers moved their training practices to the morning last year, but this year, are going back to afternoon practices this summer.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t hot enough last year, to be quite honest with you,” Tomlin said “Heat aids in the development of physical conditioning. It makes it a more stressful environment, and that’s what we go to camp for. We go to camp to get better, and if it’s a little bit more miserable later in the day, man, that’s what we want.”<\/p>\n

“Miserable” heat. And a daily “Aaron Rodgers Show” at camp.<\/p>\n

Sounds like fun.<\/p>\n

Tomlin wants his team to be in the best condition they can be. The additional heat is going to make the squad sweat even more, increasing the intensity of practices.<\/p>\n

So yes, Tomlin is embracing a “miserable” environment in camp.<\/p>\n

After morning practices during the 2024 training camp, Pittsburgh got out to a 10-3 start before dropping their last four games of the season, ending 10-7. Pittsburgh’s late season woes carried into the playoffs, where they lost to their AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens, 14-28.<\/p>\n

Perhaps a more intense and heated training camp can allow the Steelers to be well-conditioned for the full season – and Rodgers’ final season.<\/p>\n
