Aaron Rodgers returns for final NFL season with Pittsburgh Steelers

Aaron Rodgers has officially returned for his 22nd NFL season, marking his final year of professional football with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The four-time MVP reunited with head coach Mike McCarthy, with whom he previously secured a Super Bowl victory. Rodgers recorded 3,322 passing yards and 24 touchdowns last season, guiding the team to an AFC North title before a 6-30 playoff loss to the Houston Texans. Despite his statistical contributions, former NFL player Keyshawn Johnson suggested that age-related decline limits the quarterback's current effectiveness. Rodgers now enters his 42nd year while mentoring teammates Drew Allar and Will Howard. While acknowledging Rodgers' passing ability, critics note that his athleticism has diminished compared to his tenure with the Green Bay Packers.
