The storm of rumors, speculations, and predictions was everywhere when no one knew if and when he was going to land in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/steelers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> locker room. That was the time when, among many critics and opinions, the Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw made a shocking statement about the free agent quarterback, to which Rodgers gave an answer recently.<\/p>\n<p>But, before learning about Bradshaw&#8217;s comment and Rodgers\u2019 answer to it, let&#8217;s focus on how the Steelers insider revealed the true colors of the Steelers QB. The 41-year-old QB finally signed a one-year, $13,650,000 deal with the franchise. And days ago, he also started practicing at his 21st NFL training camp, out of which 18 were with the Packers and two with the Jets. During this training camp, a reporter who closely covers the Steelers&#8217; training camp wrote an unexpected note on Rodgers\u2019 real nature.<\/p>\n<h2>Steelers Reporter Unpacked Aaron Rodgers\u2019 True Nature<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_240829\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-240829\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-240829\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26417616_168400545_lowres-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26417616_168400545_lowres-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26417616_168400545_lowres-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26417616_168400545_lowres-768x566.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26417616_168400545_lowres.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-240829\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jun 10, 2025; Pittsburgh, PA, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) gets the ball during minicamp at their South Side facility.

But after the four-time Super Bowl winner&#8217;s harsh words to Rodgers, recently, the 41-year-old QB still offered Bradshaw an olive branch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I&#39;ve talked to Aaron Rodgers a couple of times since he signed, and in every encounter, he comes across as a personable and down-to-earth guy.

Bring him in for one year? Are you kidding me? &#8230; That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there.\u201d He had also called the then-rumors a \u201cjoke\u201d. But Rodgers hasn&#8217;t spared the comment live on air and replied to it.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers, after coming to the Steelers locker room and starting training camp, said on July 26, &#8220;I\u2019ve known Terry for a long time, being a part of Fox. Terry\u2019s a legend. He\u2019s an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He\u2019s had a legendary career in the media. But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn\u2019t know me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers continued, &#8220;And, so, he\u2019s got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I\u2019ve done, the documentary, what I\u2019ve said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about. I\u2019d love to get to know Terry on a deeper level. I feel like if he gave me a chance to get to know him, then we\u2019d have a good friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And finally said, \u201cSo, I\u2019d love to get to know Terry on a deeper level if he\u2019s open to it.\u00a0 And maybe we can go chew some bark or whatever the hell he\u2019s talking about together.\u201d Aaron Rodgers showed maturity while receiving the harsh comments and also showed patience in giving a tight yet respectful reply. There is a reason why Rodgers is admired even after 21 years in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Main Image: \u00a0Barry Reeger-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aaron Rodgers\u2019 actions at training camp sparked major buzz and caught a reporter&#8217;s attention after a unique gesture toward Terry Bradshaw<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5420,"featured_media":240828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,9],"tags":[275,81,1416],"class_list":["post-240769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-steelers","tag-aaron-rodgers","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-terry-bradshaw"],"modified_by":"Drew Crabtree","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5420"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240769"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":240830,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240769\/revisions\/240830"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
