Aaron Rodgers<\/a> and the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> just squeezed their way into the NFL<\/a> playoffs last season after a Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, finishing 2025 with a 10-7 record and the AFC North title. But the Steelers’ postseason run was short-lived, falling to C.J. Stroud<\/a> and the Houston Texans<\/a> 30-6 in the wild card round.<\/p>\n

Rodgers has now completed his 21st NFL season, along with his first in Pittsburgh. And the 42-year-old quarterback showed he still has some juice left in 2025, completing 327-of-498 passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. This comes after he spent his first 20 years with the Green Bay Packers<\/a> and New York Jets<\/a>, winning four NFL MVP awards and a Super Bowl<\/a> in the process.<\/p>\n

Amid his lengthy football career, Rodgers has also stayed busy off the field. In April 2018, the former California quarterback became a minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>, purchasing a 1% stake in the NBA<\/a> franchise. He has also made moves in real estate, expanding his portfolio with luxury properties in Malibu, Montclair, New Jersey, Wisconsin and several other locations.<\/p>\n

Rodgers also co-founded RX3 Growth Partners<\/a>, formerly Rx3 Ventures, in 2018. And four years later, the equity firm began its charitable support by establishing the RX3 Foundation<\/a>, which aims to “activate and amplify the RX3 community\u2019s generosity, through experience-driven events that unite talent, partners, and supporters around meaningful charitable causes.”<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the RX3 Foundation hosted its fifth annual RX3 Charity Flag Football Tournament at Saddleback College Stadium in Mission Viejo, California. And sure enough, with Rodgers having a big role with the foundation, the Steelers quarterback decided to take the field for the charitable exhibition.<\/p>\n

Rodgers was not the only NFL star to take part in Saturday\u2019s flag football game. Joining him in California were Detroit Lions<\/a> wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, former Atlanta Falcons<\/a> quarterback Michael Vick, Carolina Panthers<\/a> quarterback Bryce Young<\/a> and Rodgers\u2019 backup, Will Howard, among others.<\/p>\n

Despite free agency being well underway, Rodgers has yet to decide whether to retire or return for a 22nd NFL season and reunite with his former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy<\/a>, who’s now with the Steelers.<\/p>\n
