What happened: Pro Football Focus published an all-time evaluation of single-season grades across individual positions in league history. The scoring metrics placed the veteran quarterback at the top of the passing category for his output during the 2020 schedule.

Why it matters: The historical evaluation highlights the peak efficiency standard achieved prior to his late-career transition. Aaron Rodgers returns to the Steelers for his 22nd NFL season as the organization prepares its quarterback room for training camp.

What to watch: Pittsburgh opens training camp later this month as the offense integrates new personnel ahead of the 2026 preseason schedule. Coaches and evaluators will monitor quarterback reps during upcoming practices to set the early rotation.
