Aaron Rodgers and new Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver, DK Metcalf, held a workout together this past week in Los Angeles, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Metcalf and Rodgers, who could become teammates if Rodgers signs with the Steelers, came together at UCLA to have a productive session.
“Over the weekend at UCLA, he threw to DK Metcalf. They did have a throwing session,” The two of them together, according to sources, informed of that workout. So Rodgers going through the process and checking all the boxes. And I assume it was a good throwing session there with him and Metcalf. So we’ll see if that leads to him saying, you know what? Yeah, I’m fully in. I like that guy. I like that target right there."
After Rodgers visited the Steelers last Friday for six hours, this is now the latest sign that Rodgers and Pittsburgh could end up as a unit. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated that Rodgers and the organization remain in constant communication, which only adds more credence the idea Rodgers is opening up to the idea of joining the Steelers.
Still, there are concerns. In 2024, Rodgers played but was hampered by hamstring and knee issues. He missed most of the 2023 season with a torn achilles. That is not the recipe for success when the Steelers’ offensive line is still young and unproven.
Rodgers remains in no rush to decide, however. The Steelers have not pushed back on that, though, and any idea the team would give him major flak for taking time to decide has little credence.
