The Steelers signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a one-year contract.
Rodgers will wear No. 8.
Rodgers will be entering his 21st season in the NFL after being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft, the 24th overall pick.
He brings with him a long list of honors, including winning the Associated Press Most Valuable Player four times, joining Peyton Manning (five) as the only players to win the honor four or more times.
He was selected First-Team Associated Press All-Pro four times (2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021) and Second-Team AP All-Pro once (2012). He is also a 10-time Pro Bowl selection (2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021), which is tied for fifth-most by a quarterback.
Rodgers was the MVP of Super Bowl XLV when he completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns in a victory over the Steelers.
In 20 seasons he has appeared in 248 games, starting 241 of them. He has completed 5,369 of 8,245 passes, 65.1%, for 62,952 yards and 503 touchdowns.
Rodgers ranks in the Top 10 all-time in every major passing category. He is ranked fifth all-time in the NFL with 503 passing touchdowns and seventh all-time in passing yards with 62,952. He is eighth in career pass attempts with 5,369. He has the lowest career interception percentage (1.4%) in NFL history with players who have 1,500 plus passing attempts. His 102.6 career passer rating is the highest ever by a qualified quarterback.
Rodgers is the only quarterback in NFL history with at least 55,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards, as well as the only quarterback with 500 plus passes of 25 plus yards and 100 plus runs of 10 plus yards since 1994.
In 18 seasons with the Packers, Rodgers appeared in 230 games, starting 223. He completed 5,001 of 7,660 passes for 59,055 for 475 touchdowns.
