Mike Tomlin reveals true feelings on Aaron Rodgers - DK Metcalf chemistry at Steelers training camp

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin appears to be enjoying the way his new offense is looking heading into the 2025 season. During a play at the Steelers' training camp on Friday, quarterback Aaron Rodgers connected with wideout DK Metcalf for a touchdown pass, which left Tomlin impressed.

When asked about Rodgers and Metcalf's growing chemistry, Tomlin said on Friday:

"That's what I anticipate. That's what I expect, that's what I envisioned all summer."

After plenty of speculation around his future in the NFL, Rodgers signed with the Steelers this offseason. The four-time MVP quarterback inked a reported one-year, $13.6 million deal just before the mandatory minicamp.

Rodgers has hinted that the 2025 season could be his last. If that is the case, the veteran QB would want to leave on a high note.

Meanwhile, Metcalf was traded to the Steelers this offseason after playing six seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. The wideout signed a four-year, $132 million extension.

It's safe to say Metcalf wants to establish himself as the Steelers' WR1 for the upcoming season. He is likely to play a key role with Rodgers if the team wants to make the playoffs.

The Steelers made a blockbuster trade for cornerback Jalen Ramsey this offseason. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin is already excited about what the defensive star can add to his team in the 2025 season.

"He’s a veteran player," Tomlin said on Friday. "A guy that’s experienced in the NFL. A guy that we’re familiar with from competing against him. So, excited to get him in the fold and giving him an opportunity. I’m just highly familiar with his intangibles. He’s got a really good relationship with the game. "He’s a hard worker. He’s a really good communicator. His football character comes highly recommended.”

The Steelers made it to the playoffs last season, but lost to the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round.

Although Tomlin led the Steelers to the Super Bowl title in 2009, he has failed to guide the team past the wild-card round in the last four times that Pittsburgh has made the playoffs.
