Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Arrives, But Will That Backfire? | Pressure on Drew Allar to Thrive Quickly?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers finally will get Aaron Rodgers to arrive at their facility and sign his new deal, locking him in for the 2026 season. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner explain why that's a good thing for the Steelers in their development plan. While Rodgers doesn't make the team a Super Bowl contender and won't be around for a long time, his leadership can help young players develop like Will Howard, Drew Allar, Troy Fautanu and Germie Bernard. Could that be a setback for the Steelers' future draft plans if they have a positive season but don't win a Super Bowl? Chris and Jenna also discuss what the biggest talking points are for Steelers rookie camp this weekend. Where will rookie offensive linemen Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunner line up in their initial practices? And will Germie Bernard be made to line up both in the slot and at outside receiver positions? And how much pressure is on Allar to thrive quickly considering the Steelers may take a first round pick quarterback in next year's NFL Draft?
