Mike McCarthy on Aaron Rodgers: I have confidence in where he would be the day he would arrive
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Aaron Rodgers has not yet confirmed whether he will return to the Steelers for the 2026 season, leaving Will Howard and Mason Rudolph as the primary quarterbacks in early offseason activities under new head coach Mike McCarthy.
- McCarthy expressed confidence that if Rodgers decides to return, he will quickly get up to speed, noting Rodgers is likely more in tune than expected.
- The current offseason program benefits younger quarterbacks Howard and Rudolph by giving them more reps and time to learn the offensive system without Rodgers present.
- Rodgers' familiarity with McCarthy from their time with the Packers adds a layer of continuity, while the Steelers may consider drafting another quarterback, which could influence Rodgers' decision.
