It hasn't taken long for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to earn the respect of his new teammates and coach Mike Tomlin. The four-time MVP signed in June to be the starter for the 2025 season is coming off a rocky two-year stretch with the New York Jets and says his decision to play for the Steelers was not ego-driven like many of his previous career choices.

Following Cam Heyward's apology to Aaron Rodgers, the outspoken Mark Madden blasted the Steelers veteran defender on social media.

On Saturday, Wilson carried that momentum into his second preseason game. He dusted quarters coverage from Jamel Dean over the top on a post route, hauling in a 42 yard connection from Mason Rudolph. Later on, he would separate on a crosser easily, gaining a chunk gain of 30 yards on another reception.

Three weeks from today, the football world will be reacting to quarterback Aaron Rodgers's debut with the Steelers.
