“[Aaron Rodgers] has been as humble as it comes for a guy of that stature ever since he got here.” —@payton_wilson21 on Via @gmfb on X

What happened: Payton Wilson described Aaron Rodgers as humble for a player of his stature since joining Pittsburgh. Rodgers was drafted 24th overall by Green Bay in 2005 and now quarterbacks the Steelers.

Why it matters: Veteran quarterback play sets the tone for Pittsburgh during the 2026 regular season. Public backing from young defenders signals locker-room buy-in behind Rodgers.

By the numbers: Rodgers completed 327 of 498 passes for 3,322 yards with 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 16 games in 2025 with the Steelers, per ESPN.

What to watch: Pittsburgh continues through the 2026 regular season with Rodgers at quarterback.
