Aaron Rodgers explained his justification behind playing one last season in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
There is another reason for his willingness to join Steelers, though: receiver DK Metcalf.
“DK is a guy for leadership,” Rodgers said on Tuesday his appearance on Pat McAfee show. “He is a big reason why I am also in Pittsburgh. The conversations we had and just the person he is. At the beginning of the year, I did not know DK at all.
“He is like,” I practice at six o’clock every day. ” I am fine, this guy has discipline, this guy is driving.
“He is a solid guy and he leads an example. How he practices. The room goes how the top dog goes, and when DK grabs the ball and ends 60 meters to the end area, it makes everyone else want to do the same.”
