Aaron Rodgers addresses Drew Allar controversy on podcast

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers discussed a previously circulated report regarding teammate Drew Allar on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast on Tuesday. Rodgers addressed rumors involving "racy" direct messages attributed to the rookie quarterback, which had circulated among NFL teams before the 2026 season. Rodgers stated he asked Allar about the matter personally and noted that the allegations were inaccurate, citing the quarterback's long-term relationship. The veteran signal-caller characterized the Steelers' quarterback room as one of his favorite throughout his career and praised Allar for his development. The team prepares for its season opener against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday as Allar continues his transition as a rookie. Rodgers remains the starter for the organization with Mason Rudolph serving as the primary backup.
