PITTSBURGH — After Mike Tomlin abruptly stepped down in January, Aaron Rodgers approached Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan and suggested he give Mike McCarthy a call “for an outside perspective” during the team’s head coaching search.

“Not thinking that he even would, honestly, just because of the way the league goes,” Rodgers said after Wednesday’s OTA practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “But then when it became more serious, I was thinking, ‘Wow, that would be a really interesting thought to come back and play with Mike.'”
