Steelers TE Reveals What It’s Actually Like Being Aaron Rodgers’ Teammate
Aaron Rodgers has set the standard for everyone on the Steelers, from rookies to veterans.
Aaron Rodgers, a veteran quarterback in the NFL for 22 years, has been making waves with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth shared his perspective on what it's like to be Rodgers' teammate.
Rodgers, 42, has been putting in tremendous effort every day, pushing his teammates to excel. Freiermuth praised Rodgers for setting a high standard, stating, "He's been great... consistent since he's been here last year." He expects greatness from everyone in practice, making it evident that he deserves a well-deserved vet day.
Despite his age, Rodgers is still a force to be reckoned with, as demonstrated by his three-consecutive touchdown performances against the Colts. This is the third time he's achieved this feat this year, with his first since his MVP season in 2021.
Rodgers is known for his straightforward nature, which sometimes leads to confrontations on and off the field. He has a history with head coach Mike McCarthy, dating back to their days with the Packers. Freiermuth acknowledged that Rodgers can be tough to get along with at times, but when teammates align with his expectations, there's no limit to what they can achieve together.
