His words to the media offer a glimpse at how he\u2019s feeling about the receiving corps, and whether a young receiver is coming along as he expects them too.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why his comments about Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2026\/09\/mccorkle-aaron-rodgers-used-repeat-mistakes-phrase-twice-roman-wilson-should-take-notice\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">were notable earlier this week<\/a>. Speaking to the media, Rodgers mentioned something he liked about Bernard, saying he doesn\u2019t make \u201crepeat mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moments later, that phrase was brought up once again, with Rodgers mentioning that Roman Wilson has repeated mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Jennings, a receiver who played with Rodgers for several years in Green Bay, did not like those comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never liked this. He\u2019s not doing this to DK. He\u2019s not doing this to Davante Adams. You don\u2019t take something that we can resolve, and I get it, he talked glowingly about Roman\u2026 But Roman is listening to that, and immediately, when you hear \u2018that\u2019s the second time,\u2019 it\u2019s like a reprimand of like, we didn\u2019t even need to know about the first time,\u201d Jennings said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rh0BFaguoIw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FS1\u2019s First Things First<\/a>. \u201cThis has been the issue that I\u2019ve always had\u2026 When we look at you [Rodgers], it\u2019s like, do you ever do anything wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Jennings mentioned, Rodgers did have some good things to say about Wilson. Just after his comment about the repeat mistake, he made a point to say Wilson had a \u201cfantastic camp\u201d and reaffirmed his confidence in the young receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, given the history between these two, it\u2019s hard not to notice that comment. Aaron Rodgers and Roman Wilson connected on a couple of nice passes last year, but Wilson faded into obscurity. As the year went on, the Steelers brought in veteran receivers instead.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings does have a point. While Rodgers seemed to mean well with his comment, there isn\u2019t any good that can come from mentioning it in front of the media. That results in the story getting blown up, which only adds more pressure on the shoulders of a young receiver who may be playing for the sake of his career in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers was maybe trying to motivate Wilson, <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2026\/09\/dont-blame-anybody-else-t-j-houshmandzadeh-criticizes-aaron-rodgers-for-roman-wilson-comments\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">but there\u2019s an argument<\/a> that the former should have kept things in-house regardless.<\/p>\n<p>But aside from this, it does seem like Rodgers and Wilson are on the same page, at least more than last year. Rodgers hasn\u2019t been shy to sing Wilson\u2019s praises throughout camp, and that did continue into this week.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson had a quiet preseason, but most of his work in camp came with Rodgers throwing him the ball. He\u2019ll look to roll the momentum the two have built together into the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bernard is in the rearview mirror. And while Rodgers\u2019 comments on Wilson raised eyebrows, he was very happy with Bernard in the same press conference. At the end of the day, Jennings doesn\u2019t think Aaron Rodgers should have said anything at all.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aaron Rodgers is very particular in what he expects from his receivers.
