It hasn't taken long for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to earn the respect of his new teammates and coach Mike Tomlin. The four-time MVP signed in June to be the starter for the 2025 season is coming off a rocky two-year stretch with the New York Jets and says his decision to play for the Steelers was not ego-driven like many of his previous career choices.

On Saturday, Wilson carried that momentum into his second preseason game. He dusted quarters coverage from Jamel Dean over the top on a post route, hauling in a 42 yard connection from Mason Rudolph. Later on, he would separate on a crosser easily, gaining a chunk gain of 30 yards on another reception.

The quarterback will make his Steelers debut in Week 1 of the regular season, against his former team, the Jets.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will close out their 2025 preseason schedule on Thursday against the Panthers in Charlotte.
