Mike Tomlin, now with NBC, predicts that Aaron Rodgers will return to Steelers: 'He's got a love affair with the game'
The Steelers remain without a clear No. 1 QB as Aaron Rodgers waits to announce a decision on his football future.
Mike Tomlin won’t coach him. But he believes that Aaron Rodgers will return to play quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his first official capacity as a football analyst for NBC, Tomlin sat down with host Maria Taylor on the network’s NBA pregame show Sunday night to promote his new gig.
There, Taylor asked Tomlin who he thinks will play quarterback for the Steelers in 2026. “Man, if you’ve got a gun to my head, I’d say it’s AR, Aaron,” Tomlin responded. “I just think, being around him for the 12 months I’m around him, he’s got a love affair with the game of football.
And not only the game, but the process. … “I think he has an addiction to that. And there’s only one way to feed it.
And certainly, he is still capable and in really good shape. I think at the end of the day, he’ll play football. ” Mike Tomlin believes that Aaron Rodgers will return to play another season with the Steelers.
