Aaron Rodgers didn’t sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers until June 7. The 41-year-old is doing his best to make up for lost time by hosting some of his teammates for offseason workouts in Malibu, California.
Rodgers revealed the workout in a photo shared to his Instagram on Wednesday. The new Steelers quarterback was joined by many of his receiving weapons – Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin, DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson – at the session.
Rodgers had dropped a hint about the Malibu workout in one of his recent appearances on ‘The Pat McAfee Show.’ He didn’t say exactly who would be joining him but noted he had invited his wide receiver, tight ends and running backs to work out.
‘I know coming out to Malibu might not be that high on everybody’s list,’ Rodgers told McAfee. ‘But we do have some guys coming out next week. So it’ll be fun to spend a little time with them.’
The group did appear to have some fun. Notably, Skowronek posted a video of Rodgers throwing him an alley-oop off the glass to his social media accounts.
Perhaps that will allow the teammates to quickly build chemistry ahead of what is a critical season for the Steelers, who haven’t won a playoff game since the 2016 NFL campaign, and Rodgers, who said he is ‘pretty sure’ this will be his last season.
