DeShon Elliott, one of the most outspoken critics of Aaron Rodgers potentially joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, may have been trolling the NFL world when he said the four-time MVP should stay in a retirement home.
Rodgers has been linked to the Steelers ever since the New York Jets informed the 41-year-old QB that they’d be moving in a different direction at the position in 2025.
Elliott had taken to social media to voice his displeasure with Rodgers potentially coming to the Steel City, but it appears that may have just been an act.
On Instagram, the Steelers safety posted a story featuring both himself and Rodgers posing for a photo in hilarious fashion.

The photo, taken by Proactive Sports Performance, included an even funnier caption by the California based athlete training facility that read: “Who retires first?”
Were Elliott’s prior comments on Rodgers simply a joke, or does the safety see the writing on the wall—that the former Super Bowl-winning Packers QB could soon be headed to the Steel City as a Pittsburgh Steeler?
