PITTSBURGH — Monday morning at 8, Aaron Rodgers was listening to his new head coach lead a team meeting when a wave of déjà vu swept over him. The veteran quarterback felt himself transported two decades and 600 miles.“It was surreal, honestly,” Rodgers said. “It took me back to being a 22-year-old kid sitting in Green Bay, listening to Mike (McCarthy’s) first meeting in 2006. A lot of pinch-me moments have been happening the last few days.”When they first united in 2006, McCarthy was a first-time head coach and Rodgers was a second-year understudy to Brett Favre, with nine career passes on his resume. During their 13 seasons together with the Packers, they leaned on each other as they wrote many of the defining moments of their football lives — two MVPs for Rodgers, a pair of No. 1 scoring offenses and one Lombardi Trophy.Now, for the first time since McCarthy’s Week 13 dismissal from the Packers in 2018, the 62-year-old head coach and 42-year-old QB reunite with the Pittsburgh Steelers — the same team they beat in Super Bowl XLV — for what Rodgers expects to be his final chapter.“There’s definitely a full circle aspect to it that piqued my interest from the start,” Rodgers said. “I love Mike. Mike and I spent a lot of time together, a lot of great highs over the years. A lot of respect for him.”You cannot write Rodgers’ story without McCarthy — or McCarthy’s without Rodgers. In a similar way, their paths back to Pittsburgh this offseason have been intertwined more than anyone realized before Wednesday. McCarthy may not have been given the opportunity to coach his hometown team without his former QB’s recommendation. Rodgers likely would not be in Pittsburgh for a second season if not for the chance to play for his former coach.
