Aaron Rodgers, Cam Heyward form leadership bond with Steelers

November 6, 2025 by Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward (97) and quarterback Aaron Rodgers join coach Mike Tomlin in leaving the field together after a victory at the New England Patriots in September. Rodgers and Heyward are longtime NFL team captains who this season have formed a leadership bond with the Steelers.

Perhaps recognizing that Aaron Rodgers is the only other player on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster who was born in the 1980s, Cameron Heyward takes every opportunity to needle Rodgers because of his age.
