🏈 New Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers feels at home in Pittsburgh.
“This is a blue-collar town. The history of this great area is building the structure of the country. A lot of great people here, great fan base,” Rodgers said. “We played here over the years. They even got their own song they play late in the third or in the fourth quarter. But it’s a special, special place to play sports, just great blue-collar people. I’m excited to meet some of the fans along the way.”
Rodgers credits former Green Bay Packers head coach and Greenfield native Mike McCarthy for introducing Pittsburgh’s blue-collar work ethic culture to him. In addition to several other Western Pa. natives or people with ties to the Steelers organization.
“I feel like Pittsburgh has been a part of my career from the beginning, playing for Mike McCarthy for 13 years, having Tom Clements — or Tommy Clements, depending on how old you are — as my quarterback coach forever, Dom Capers, Kevin Greene, Darren Perry, Ben McAdoo, Frank Cignetti, Luke Getsy. I don’t want to forget anybody, but a lot of ‘Yinzers’ in my life.”

🏈 Diontae Johnson said the Browns were “really the only team that hit me up.” He said former Steelers teammate Kenny Pickett factored into his decision to sign with Cleveland, as well.
🏈 Chuck Noll became the Steelers head coach in 1969 and went 1-13, 5-9, then 6-8 taking over an awful situation. Since then, Pittsburgh has had only seven losing seasons. And in those seven losing seasons combined, the #Steelers still won 41% of their games. One 5-11 season, three 6-10, and two 7-9 years, according to Matt Williamson of Steelers.com.

🏈 Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens thinks Dallas is the right place for him: “Just the guys and the team speed. The team speed applies to the scheme too. If you got a lot of fast guys, you’re gonna definitely have a different scheme.”
Pickens also said this is the most speed he’s played with since his time at Georgia....
