The Steelers QB is already taking on a mentor role
We officially have our first look at Aaron Rodgers in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform. The four-time MVP took the field for mandatory mini-camp on Monday, and spoke to the media for the first time as a member of the Steelers afterwards.
Rodgers touched on why he decided to come to Pittsburgh, his immediate thoughts on his new teammates, and what pushes him two decades into his career. On top of that, he was asked about rookie quarterback Will Howard, and that he will do as much as he can to help the young quarterback.
“Will’s a good kid,” Rodgers said. “Got to talk a little bit. I thought he did really well today. he seems pretty bright. [The game’s] not too big for him. He got through progressions really well. I’m gonna be with him every single day and every single meeting. Found my seat next to him in the offensive meeting… I’m gonna help him out as much as I can.”

Many will always have their reasons for disliking Rodgers, but one thing that can’t be said is that he’s a horrendous teammate. You’d be hard-pressed to find very many former teammates of Rodgers who would say anything bad about him.
