Aaron Rodgers’ First Training Camp in Pittsburgh Starts with a Meaningless Pick and Careful Optimism
ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 24 – Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf are focusing on timing and route precision to improve their connection during camp as the Steelers aim to break a nearly 10-year playoff win drought.
- Aaron Rodgers made his Pittsburgh Steelers training camp debut on Thursday, July 24, 2025, in Latrobe, Pa., where his first pass was intercepted by linebacker Patrick Queen.
- Rodgers signed a one-year deal in June and arrived early as the Steelers rebuilt major offensive pieces, including pairing him with wide receiver DK Metcalf.
- The interception sparked chatter favoring second-team quarterback Mason Rudolph, who went 4-for-4 during camp, but Rodgers downplayed the significance amid standard training camp rust.
- Rodgers stated, "It was good to get that out of the way," and acknowledged he will throw some picks and touchdowns while stressing gradual improvement and supporting teammates.
- The Steelers aim to end a near-decade playoff drought with Rodgers as the short-term answer who believes the team is among 10 to 12 legitimate championship contenders if they embrace the process.
