Pittsburgh Steelers’ nye cheftræner Mike McCarthy har udtalt sig om quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ fremtid i klubben. Rodgers har endnu ikke meddelt, om han forlænger kontrakten ud over 2025, hvilket betyder, at Will Howard og Mason Rudolph i øjeblikket får størstedelen af spilletiden under træningslejren.
Skulle Rodgers beslutte sig for at vende tilbage til Steelers for en 22. sæson, er McCarthy overbevist om, at Rodgers hurtigt vil kunne falde tilbage i rollen. "Jeg tror, Aaron er mere forberedt, end vi aner," udtalte McCarthy til The Athletic via Mike DeFabo. "Men jeg har tillid til, at han ville være klar fra dag ét, hvis det bliver hans valg."
McCarthy fremhævede også fordelene ved, at veteraner som Rodgers ikke deltager i træningslejren. "Når vi taler om quarterback-positionen, er det her en stor fordel for Will og Mason," sagde han. "De har delt alle gentagelserne de seneste to dage."
Da Rodgers tidligere har spillet under McCarthy i Green Bay Packers, får Howard og Rudolph nu ekstra tid med trænerstaben for at sætte sig ind i det offensive system. Det er endnu uvist, om Steelers vil draftede en ny quarterback denne uge, og om det vil påvirke Rodgers’ beslutning.
