NFL News: Mike Tomlin finally reveals if he was ever worried Steelers would miss the chance to sign Aaron Rodgers

Mike Tomlin held his first press conference at the start of training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers. One of the most important questions was whether Aaron Rodgers will be on a limited plan heading into the start of the season, considering the quarterback is 41 years old.

“He’s a workaholic. I don’t have a lot of reservations about that. I think he’s hardened himself over the course of his career with his attitude toward work. Certainly, I’m gonna limit him in some instances, but, when I do, it’s going to be more about elevating opportunities for guys like Will Howard and less about preserving him to be quite honest with you.”

When he was asked if he ever had doubts about the arrival of the Super Bowl champion quarterback during free agency, this was his hilarious answer while laughing: “I probably was pretty comfortable well before you guys. No. I didn’t waver for that.”

Who will be the Steelers starting quarterback?

Aaron Rodgers will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the veteran arrives alongside many new faces such as DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith, and Darius Slay.

Given this scenario, Mike Tomlin is not concerned about the adaptation process for his new additions, as Latrobe is the ideal place to strengthen their bonds with the rest of the players already on the team.
