Pittsburgh Steelers star Cam Heyward says that quarterback Aaron Rodgers is fully committed to the team, and he has no concerns about Rodgers’ character in the locker room.
Many have specualted that Rodgers might have one foot in and one foot out after he took so long to sign with the Steelers, but Heyward says that is not the case at all, and during the three days he met with Rodgers at mandatory minicamp, everything was positive.
“It just felt like he has bought in, and it worked out for the best,” Heyward said on The Rich Eisen Show. “I know sometimes we live in a society where we want things now. But patience has a way of paying off. And to now see he’s a Pittsburgh Steelers and just him walking through the locker room asking questions how we do things. He’s bought in and that’s all I can ask for our quarterback. As a teammate, I’m excited to go work with him.”
Rodgers’ fit with the Steelers and his personality, he seems to be enjoying that, and cited head coach Mike Tomlin as a critical reason he wanted to play for the Steelers.
