41-year-old took time before returning for 21st NFL season
Quarterback says he is keen to work with Mike Tomlin
Aaron Rodgers says his decision to return for a 21st NFL season and to do so in Pittsburgh was not about trying to prove something to himself, the New York Jets or anyone else.
Standing in front of a sea of cameras for his first press conference as a Steeler, the 41-year-old Rodgers said the coda he is trying to author in Pittsburgh is about something deeper than football.
“A lot of decisions that I’ve made over my career and life from strictly the ego, even if they turn out well, are always unfulfilling,” Rodgers said on Tuesday after the first day of Pittsburgh’s mandatory minicamp. “But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling. So this was a decision that was best for my soul.”
