Aaron Rodgers critiques Roman Wilson following training camp interception
Summary

During a Wednesday practice session, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers attributed an interception thrown to cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to a mistake by wide receiver Roman Wilson. Rodgers stated that Wilson repeated an error previously identified during training camp regarding an under route. Despite the public criticism, the veteran quarterback emphasized that he maintains confidence in the receiver and noted that such lessons are useful during the practice period. Wilson, a 2024 draft selection who struggled with injuries last season, has produced limited results during the current preseason. Rodgers also commented on the team's decision to carry four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, noting that while the move reduces depth at other positions, he believes the current group represents the roster's strongest options. The Steelers look to integrate these personnel choices as they prepare for the upcoming season following their wild-card loss to the Texans last year.
