'He wasn't trying to be anybody else': How Aaron Rodgers won over his Steelers teammates
"[Heyward] had a little card game, and [Rodgers] was just cracking jokes the whole time,"
"So I was like, 'Oh, this dude's cool.'"
"one-trick pony"
"discount double check"
Nick Herbig met Aaron Rodgers at Cameron Heyward's house the night before the Steelers' June minicamp. Rodgers joked during a card game and teased Herbig by calling him a "one-trick pony" for his signature speed rush move. Herbig initially hesitated to return the smack talk but later embraced a playful role, celebrating big defensive plays by yelling "discount double check" to taunt Rodgers. Rodgers arrived in Pittsburgh on a one-year, $13.65 million deal and has emphasized building connections and trust through small, meaningful interactions, efforts that began to win over early detractors.
