Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has one regret about starting his final NFL season with an exhibition game against the team that drafted him. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
He would have preferred Thursday's matchup with the Packers take place in Green Bay rather than Pittsburgh. Rodgers wanted to have one final moment in the place where he spent his first 18 seasons and won four MVP awards and a Super Bowl.
"I was really hoping this one was going to be in Green Bay, not just to get back at Lambeau one more time, but to head out to Chives for a dinner and maybe head out to Green Bay Country Club for a quick nine or something," Rodgers said Wednesday in a Zoom session with Packers reporters. "I was really hoping it was going to be in Green Bay, for a lot of reasons."
This will be the second time Rodgers has faced his former team since leaving the Packers in 2023, though there's no indication yet on whether he will play Thursday.
