This marks Rodgers's third NFL franchise, while the Steelers will be fielding their fifth different Week 1 starting quarterback in as many seasons dating back to 2021.to finally join Pittsburgh was coach Mike Tomlin, according to Adam Schefter. "Tomlin was a drawing card for Rodgers, and was happy to work within Rodgers’ timeline. He is a major reason that Rodgers will be a Steeler," Schefter wrote Thursday.to sweet postgame embraces on the field. Rodgers, for his part, has had nothing but good things to say about Tomlin. Back in 2021, Rodgers gave the longtime Steelers coach his flowers prior to a Packers-Steelers regular-season game. "I've been around a lot of Pittsburgh people over the years, and I have loved my time with all of them," Rodgers said on the"I have learned to speak the language really well... It's a great blue-collar town. It's got a lot of history, that city. Mike Tomlin, been there forever... I have a ton of respect for Mike, I think he's a fantastic coach, I love the way that he leads, I love the way that he talks after games, he also seems to keep things really even-keeled, and it looks like he's somebody that the players love playing for."It'll be interesting to see how Rodgers and Tomlin's relationship develops over the course of the upcoming season and how the NFL veterans' personalities will gel together. Either way, it should make for an exciting campaign that hopefully won't end in injury or heartbreak for Rodgers, as his last two years with the Jets did.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
