Behind the Steel Curtain
Tuesday will be the last day the Pittsburgh Steelers spend at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe for training camp. It will also likely be the last training camp in the 21-year career of Aaron Rodgers. The four-time MVP was asked about his experience in Latrobe, to which he expressed great gratitude.
“I’ll miss this experience,” Rodgers said. “It’s really special to make this walk down the hill every day and see the fans and the crowd, even when it’s a hot day like today. It’s pretty special.”
In an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show after signing with the Steelers, Rodgers all but confirmed this would be his last season.
“I’m pretty sure this is it,” Rodgers said. “And that’s why we did the one-year deal. The Steelers didn’t need to put any extra years on it. This was really about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career that I’ve had. I’ve played 20 frickin years. It’s been a long run and I’ve enjoyed it. What better place to finish than with one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL there’s with Mike Tomlin and a great group of leadership and great guys in a city that expects you to win.”
The Steelers will hold joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of their Week 2 preseason game on Saturday.
