The Steelers’ new quarterback-wide receiver duo is here.

June 10 marked the first day of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ mandatory veteran minicamp. While T.J. Watt was not on the practice field as he holds out for a new contract, big-name additions Aaron Rodgers and D.K. Metcalf were.

Both Rodgers and Metcalf weren’t present at the team’s OTAs (Rodgers, to be fair, was unsigned at the time), making Tuesday the first time we’ve seen either in their Steelers practice uniforms (Metcalf was at the team facility prior to OTAs). While Tuesday was their first time practicing together as Steelers, Rodgers and Metcalf already worked this year in March.

Also arriving at minicamp after missing OTAs was new Steelers safety Juan Thornhill.

It’s been a long offseason, but Steelers football is finally ramping up.

Steelers mandatory veteran minicamp runs June 10-12. Then, it’ll be a long wait until training camp begins July 24 at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
