Your Depot After Dark for June 14.
AARON RODGERS’ OVER/UNDER PROJECTIONS
Now that he’s officially the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the outlook for Aaron Rodgers shifts to what sort of numbers and success he’ll have with the Steelers in 2025.
For BetUS, the over/under on Rodgers’ touchdowns in 2025 is set at 23.5.
Last season with the New York Jets, Rodgers threw for 28 touchdowns, finishing with 3,897 passing yards to go along with those 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Stepping into the fold in Pittsburgh, Rodgers should have a more stable environment around him with a better offensive scheme, too.
Not to mention, he should have a good rushing attack to lean on, too, so those touchdown numbers could decline. That said, the 23.5 over/under would put him at the most touchdown passes in a season for the Steelers since Ben Roethlisberger threw for 22 touchdowns in his final season in 2021.
STEELERS TAKE IN U.S. OPEN AT OAKMONT
With the world’s best golfers descending on the Pittsburgh area for this weekend’s 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, a number of Pittsburgh Steelers made their way out to the course Friday to se the biggest golf stars in the world in action.
Steelers’ third-year outside linebacker Nick Herbig, and rookies in quarterback Will Howard, outside linebacker Jack Sawyer and inside linebacker Carson Bruener took in the action Friday at Oakmont, one day after mandatory minicamp ended on the South Side for the team.
WILL HOWARD HOSTS YOUTH FOOTBALL CAMP
After taking in the U.S. Open Friday, Howard made his way back to the Columbus area to give back to the community that welcomed him with open arms. Despite spending just one season with Ohio State, Howard hosted a youth football camp in the Pickerington, Ohio area, just outside of Columbus, which also happens to be the hometown of fellow Steelers’ rookie and OSU product, Jack Sawyer.
"WE WANT WILL! WE WANT WILL!"
