After being drafted in in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Rodgers emerged as the Green Bay Packers starting quarterback in 2008. He would later win Super Bowl XLV against his new team, the Steelers, as well as four MVP awards with the Packers.

Aaron Rodgers will wear No. 8 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers wore No. 12 throughout his entire Green Bay Packers career, but he switched to No. 8, which he wore in college at Cal, when he landed with the Jets in 2023. No. 12 was unavailable in New York with that jersey retired in honor of Super Bowl III-winning quarterback Joe Namath.

After weeks of waiting and mulling his different options, Aaron Rodgers has chosen his new NFL team. The four-time NFL MVP agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced Thursday night.
