Follow usPittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers doesn’t think that the game at the end of the weekend vs. the Green Bay Packers, the franchise that selected him with 24th overall 20 years ago, and where he played in the 1st 18 years in the NFL, is a revenge match, the quarterback shared today.
“I don’t have animosity toward the Packers,” the Steelers QB revealed. “Without a doubt, I wish that things had been different in my last campaign with them, but despite that, I have a phenomenal relationship with a lot of people still in the franchise, and I don’t see it as a revenge clash. I will just be happy to be able to see some of those people and appear on SNF again.”
Aaron replaced Brett Favre as Green Bay’s full-time starter in 2008 and spent 15 years in that role before demanding a trade that sent him to the Jets in 2023. Rodgers’ exit led to the 2020 1st-round selection Jordan Love to become the new starting QB.
Rodgers added that he would feel different if the upcoming match were in Green Bay, not in Pittsburgh.
