Steelers Now
New Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is already spending time with his new teammates off the field, as he took part in a charity golf outing for Steelers captain Cam Heyward on Monday.
Heyward held his annual Irons for Impact golf outing at Sewickley Heights Golf Club on Monday, and many of the Steelers’ stars were in attendance, including Rodgers, new wide receiver DK Metcalf, first-round pick Derrick Harmon and tight end Pat Freiermuth.
Some Steelers alumni, including Joey Porter Sr., Charlie Batch and Brett Keisel were also participating in the event.

Rodgers and Metcalf were photographed riding in a cart together, as the Steelers’ starting quarterback and top wide receiver continue to build the relationship that they started over the summer, when they worked out together in California.
“What a great dude who loves football and what a specimen this guy is,” Rodgers said in an April appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “I’ve had a few conversations with DK. I just think he’s a super guy. … I wanted to see how I felt to throw with DK and how the juices felt and how the ball came out. It’s all those little things and also just get to know DK. Like I said, that’s a really good human being.”
Through The Heyward House, Cam Heyward has raised money and awareness for breast cancer awareness, helped fight illiteracy, childhood hunger, and has given back to those in need through the Craig’s Closet program.
Heyward was the 2024 winner of the NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his excellence both on the field and in the community.
Heyward, Rodgers, Metcalf and the rest of the Steelers crew will get together on the field for the team’s mandatory minicamp at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, starting on Tuesday.
Noticeably absent from the trip to the links was Steelers All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt. It remains to be seen whether he will continue his contract dispute with a hold-out over minicamp, or whether he’ll attend but not participate, as he did in 2021.
