Numerous stories shared since late 2024 have suggested that current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson "never saw eye-to-eye" and "weren’t exactly the best of friends" as the Jets struggled through a 5-12 season with Rodgers in the lineup.

When it came to the Steelers, Rodgers was happy to share exactly why he chose to sign with the team. Two people in particular were the major reasons for his decision. One of those people is none other than head coach Mike Tomlin.

The Pittsburgh Steelers hope they caught lighting in a bottle with veteran quarterback signing Aaron Rodgers, an addition franchise legend Ben Roethlisberger is anxious to watch unfold. Roethlisberger's recent comments that Rodgers' best years were more impressive than Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes went viral and sparked discussion around the NFL.
