Aaron Rodgers Feels Steelers Are Among Teams That Can Win NFL Super Bowl 60

Aaron Rodgers believes the Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the teams that can win Super Bowl 60 in his first season as the franchise’s quarterback, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Brian Batko.

The 41-year-old said that each year, six to eight, maybe 10 to 12 teams are capable of contending for the Super Bowl, and he counts the Steelers among them.

Last season with the New York Jets, Rodgers threw for 28 touchdowns and 3,897 yards with 11 interceptions, completing 63 percent of his passes. The 5-12 team finished third in the AFC East and missed the playoffs.

After two seasons in New York, Rodgers contemplated retirement and considered signing with several teams before inking a one-year, $13.65 million contract with the Steelers.

Despite Rodgers’ high hopes, he got off to a rough start in Pittsburgh. On his first throw at training camp in the team’s black, yellow and white, the 20-year veteran took a shotgun snap, looked to his left for top receiver D.K. Metcalf, and launched the pass—which was intercepted.

Training camp is training camp, and the first throw can’t be read too deeply. Rodgers’ aspirations remain high despite the rough start.
