Aaron Rodgers has been making headlines as of late, thanks to a couple of major decisions he made in his personal and professional life.
After taking some time to decide on what he would do about his future in the NFL, Rodgers officially joined the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year, $13.65 million deal. He proceeded to join the team for its mandatory minicamp on Tuesday to kick off his 21st season in the league.
Furthermore, while speaking to reporters on the same day, he confirmed that he had gotten married during the offseason. This came after he was seen wearing a wedding band during practice.
Rodgers admitted that it has been a "couple of months" since he got married. CBS Sports reported that it was a "somewhat secret wedding" because even the quarterback's closest friends didn't know about it.

Now, on Thursday, Rodgers turned a lot of heads once again. However, it wasn't for something he did on and off the field. Instead, the NFL had fans talking about the 41-year-old quarterback with their latest post.
On social media, the NFL shared a photo showing how Rodgers looked during his rookie season in 2005 compared to his older self this 2025.
"Year 1 ➡️ Year 21," the NFL wrote.
Some fans expressed disbelief about Aaron Rodgers' longevity and heaped praise on him after seeing the post. However, many couldn't help but feel sad about how he has aged.
"It takes its toll," a commenter wrote. A fan chimed in, "Every winter is a war."
A sad fan admitted, "Dam, getting old sucks!"
"My goat lost his sparkle," a supporter noticed.
"Getting old," a social media user shared. A sixth poster echoed a similar sentiment, saying, "Aging blows."
It will certainly be interesting to see how Rodgers' 2025 goes with the Steelers. He will turn 42 in December. Last season, he threw for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns with a 63% completion rate.
