Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Intercepted During First Training Camp Practice

Aaron Rodgers began his first training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers with an intercepted pass on his initial throw, caught by linebacker Patrick Queen, which drew reactions from the crowd and highlighted the defense's readiness. Despite the rocky start and visible frustration, Rodgers maintained a positive outlook, emphasizing that practice is for trial and error and expressing confidence in improving as the camp progresses. Rodgers, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers after leaving the New York Jets, is adjusting to new teammates and has already developed a strong offseason rapport with wide receiver DK Metcalf, who is also his suitemate during camp. While Rodgers did not throw any touchdowns in the initial practice session, he completed several passes and remains optimistic about the offense's development under his leadership. Queen's interception was viewed as a learning moment rather than a setback, consistent with Rodgers' career reputation for careful ball management during regular-season games. The Steelers are banking on Rodgers' experience and growing connection with key offensive players to lead the team back to playoff contention.
