Aaron Rodgers hits the practice field after signing 1-year deal to stay with
the Steelers
PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Aaron Rodgers didn't waste time getting his 22nd NFL season
started.
The four-time NFL MVP was on the field for voluntary organized team activities
in Pittsburgh on Monday just minutes after signing a one-year deal with the
Steelers.
The signing reunites Rodgers with first-year Pittsburgh coach Mike McCarthy.
The two worked closely together during a long partnership in Green Bay earlier
in their respective careers, including a Super Bowl victory over Pittsburgh
after the 2010 season.
The 42-year-old Rodgers guided Pittsburgh to an AFC North title last season,
throwing for 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He seemed to embrace
playing for a team whose football roots run deep, much as he did in Green Bay,
and now he'll be back to try and help the Steelers end a playoff victory
drought that is nearly a decade old.
