Aaron Rodgers will return to his familiar number 8 as he begins his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This choice marks a continuation of his recent number selection after spending two years with the New York Jets. Previously, Rodgers wore the number 12 for more than a decade with the Green Bay Packers before switching to a single digit in 2023.

Rodgers stated, “I don’t think it was fair to the Steelers or anyone to make a decision while I’m dealing with a lot off the field.” This recent signing concludes a lengthy offseason process where retirement was considered before he ultimately opted to join Pittsburgh.
