The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new quarterback, as Aaron Rodgers will play what will most likely be the final stretch of his career with the team he defeated for his lone Super Bowl win.
A lot has transpired since then, and Rodgers hasn’t always had the best reputation.
That’s why backup QB Mason Rudolph wanted to set the record straight.
The veteran recently shut down the narrative about Rodgers not being a good teammate.
“It’s not phony. It’s not fake. It’s a great example of how to do it the right way. You have $400 million and you have all the fame in the world, but you’re not a jerk. To sit through all the meetings, not to leave early, to truly care about asking guys about their lives. You can tell that he truly loves the game and he loves putting in the work,” Rudolph said.

The Steelers clearly have those expectations after making some big moves this offseason.
Whether they’ll be able to live up to those aspirations remains to be seen, and it will have plenty to do with their quarterback.
