Aaron Rodgers is already working with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the team’s mandatory minicamp. During his first interaction with the press, the quarterback faced all kinds of questions about his new adventure in Steel City.

The veteran acknowledged that one of the main reasons he signed with Pittsburgh was Mike Tomlin. He did not speak at all about a possible retirement and expressed his excitement about getting the opportunity to play for a historic NFL franchise.

What the former Super Bowl champion quarterback with the Packers didn’t expect was that a photograph and a ring would be part of the questions. Rodgers’ response has created a frenzy on social media.
