Aaron Rodgers already has major complaint with the Steelers, and it's not what you'd expect
Aaron Rodgers is excited to start his new journey with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he already has one complaint. He hates his helmet. "I can't stand the helmet," Rodgers told reporters on Tuesday, as he's no longer allowed to wear the Schutt model he has usually sported throughout his career. "I've worn a Schutt for 20 years and somehow it finally didn't pass the safety standard." Rodgers sported a Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD during his games last season, which is rare when it comes to helmets in the NFL. Only Joe Flacco, Thomas Morstead and Nick Folk wore the same model. Rodgers is no stranger to changing his helmet, as he seemed to be fine with it in 2019 when he was forced to find a different model. But the second time around, he's finding it an issue. Now, Rodgers has time once more to find a new helmet being that it is only mandatory minicamp right now. But, whether Rodgers likes it or not, the NFL's top priority is safety. As new helmet technology gets developed, older models of helmets will be obsolete. Rodgers has only been with the Steelers for a few days, but he's already made a few headlines at minicamp. The biggest of them all was him revealing his wedding ring to reporters on Tuesday, claiming he had been with his partner for "a couple months." Speculation about Rodgers being married has been swirling since photos from the Steelers announcing his signing went viral. He was wearing the same band on his left hand. The woman Rodgers married remains a mystery, but he did claim on the "Pat McAfee Show" in December that he was dating a woman named "Brittani." Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers reportedly worth up to $19.5 million with incentives. The four-time MVP has a $10 million guarantee in his deal, per ESPN. The announcement by the Steelers ended a long offseason journey that had many believing Rodgers would end up in Pittsburgh as quarterback-needy teams found options elsewhere. When the Steelers waited until the sixth round to take a quarterback (Will Howard), all signs pointed to Rodgers joining head coach Mike Tomlin's group. Now that he is with the team at minicamp, Rodgers will try to get acclimated with his new weapons, including D.K. Metcalf, who was traded by the Seattle Seahawks this offseason. But he will also need to figure out what new model of helmet he can be comfortable in this season.

New Penguins coach Dan Muse won't win on words alone, but he's off to a good start
PITTSBURGH — Judging coaching hires in the direct aftermath is a fool's game. Maybe Dan Muse will win the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Maybe he'll be fired in a couple of years. No one knows. Sometimes, though, you can learn something from a first impression, like at Wednesday morning's news conference at PPG Paints Arena. Advertisement Muse, a relative no-name with no connection to Pittsburgh who was hired last week to be the Penguins' new head coach, had the opportunity to introduce himself to fans. He did very well. While I only met him for the first time on Wednesday, his honesty and humility were notable. The word on Muse is that there's nothing phony about him, and that seems to be true. One brief sentence late in the news conference got my attention. It might not have registered with most people, but it impressed me. There's a great scene in 'Moneyball' where Brad Pitt, portraying general manager Billy Beane, meets with John Henry — the primary leader of Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Red Sox and the Penguins — about taking the job in Boston. Pitt's character is asked why he's interested in the job. 'It's the Red Sox,' he said. About 46 minutes deep into his news conference on Wednesday, Muse was asked about the interview process and about taking the job. 'This is the Pittsburgh Penguins,' he said with a smile. There was more to his answer, but it was an endearing moment. Something real. Something honest. He didn't walk in like he owned the place, but there's nothing meek about him. He was oozing confidence but also took the time to appreciate his accomplishment. What does that mean for Muse as a coach? Perhaps nothing. But I suspect it tells us something about the person. Muse's first act as Penguins coach was to introduce the room to his wife and four young children, all of whom were sitting with the media. You don't always see that at these kinds of events. But again, it felt honest. It felt genuine. The rest of his answer, by the way, was telling. Muse was asked what set him apart from the other candidates, why he was the right man for the job. He initially joked that Penguins president and GM Kyle Dubas, sitting to his right, was the more appropriate person to answer that question. He was right. But Dubas deferred to him anyway, and I'm glad he did. Advertisement 'I was just myself,' he said. 'Honestly.' Then he made an interesting, vulnerable admission. In a room full of strangers, the 42-year-old coach opened up about the interview process, past failures and where he had gone wrong. Being himself was the key. Talk about a life lesson. 'Maybe that's different than any interview process I've gone through in the past,' he admitted. You don't hear that at news conferences very often. Maybe Muse tried to be somebody he was not in the past. Maybe, in trying to impress would-be employers, he talked a big game that he couldn't quite back up, or perhaps he emulated someone else. If that's the case, he didn't do it this time. After Dubas called Muse and said he wanted to chat about the Penguins' job, Muse gave himself a moment to consider what it meant. 'It was a huge honor,' he said. 'Pretty quickly, when I got over the fact that 'This is awesome,' I wanted the job.' He went out and got it, despite bigger names being interested. It would appear that he stayed true to himself throughout the process. 'I wanted the job,' he said. 'I decided that I was going to be me. If they like me, they like me. If they don't, they don't.' They liked him. Coaching the Penguins in 2025 comes with two primary objectives. First and foremost, the organization's talented, young players must be properly developed. Rutger McGroarty, Ville Koivunen, Harrison Brunicke, Sergei Murashov and the bushel of draft picks coming to Pittsburgh in the next couple of years are the future. If the Penguins want to become championship contenders again, those young players must hit. That can only happen when the head coach is a straight shooter. Then, there's the delicate part of this job. This team features two separate generations: the young guys and the future wing of the Hockey Hall of Fame. When next season starts, Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang will be 38. Evgeni Malkin will be 39. Erik Karlsson will be 35. Advertisement Those four have about 80 years of NHL experience between them. They can smell horse excrement from a mile away. The Penguins are led by their stars. It's in the franchise DNA. As fate would have it, I counted to see how many people were in the room on Wednesday morning. The answer? There were 87 people, naturally. Crosby is the ultimate captain and will play hard for anyone. The other three are great competitors, great characters in their own right, but coaching them can be tricky. You had better be direct with them. Mike Johnston wasn't. They chewed him up and spit him out. Same with Dan Bylsma in the end. Muse is well aware of what he faces. 'You have guys in different places in their careers,' he said. 'That's very clear. My job coming in here is going to be to help maximize each person and help each person work toward what their highest level can be right now.' There was great honesty — theme of the day — in that statement. Muse was behind the Rangers bench during the past two seasons, so he knows Crosby remains Crosby, one of the great forces in hockey history who, after 20 NHL seasons, remains a marvel. He also knows that the other three seem to be in significant levels of decline. 'I want to create the best environment for everyone to grow,' he said. Perfectly said. Maybe Muse will work, or maybe he won't. I don't know. Neither do you. By all accounts, he's a terrific teacher of the sport. After speaking with him briefly after his news conference and simply from observing his gathering with the media, I believe it. A good teacher can't be a conman. Whether you're dealing with kids or legends, you have to show a certain character, a directness, an honesty. Kids can sniff insincerity. So can hockey legends. Longtime coach Mike Sullivan, who parted ways with the Penguins this offseason and was hired as Rangers head coach, had that same honesty, and it worked. Advertisement The degree of difficulty is much higher now compared to when Sullivan arrived in 2015. Still, in Muse, I sense many of Sullivan's wonderful traits that made him a winner. We'll see if Muse is the right coach. From what I've been told and what I saw with my own two eyes on Wednesday, I think he's the right person. You can't have one without the other, so it's a start. Getting better each day is his simple goal. 'It's going to be working together as a staff to make sure that's happening,' he said. 'That's the job. That's what I'm coming in here to do. That's what we're building a staff to do. And that's what we're going to do.' I believe him.

Soul-Bound: Rodgers Looked Inward for Steelers Signing
Soul-Bound: Rodgers Looked Inward for Steelers Signing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At long last, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a starting quarterback. The ink is dry on veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers' one-year, $13.7 million deal, vaulting him to the top of the depth chart and boosting Pittsburgh's playoff odds. Advertisement On Monday, he got to know some of his teammates at defensive end Cam Heyward's charity golf event. A day later, he spoke to reporters for the first time at Steelers minicamp. In doing so, he gave the Pittsburgh faithful everything they had been waiting for. He was vague about his decision-making process, revealed that he was married, and generated some excitement about the team's chances. Perhaps the most interesting tidbit of Rodgers' comments was his introspection. Rodgers said his soul led him to sign with the Steelers, rather than his ego. 'A lot of decisions that I've made over my career and in life from strictly the ego, even if they turn out well, are always unfulfilling. But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling. This is a decision that was best for my soul,' Rodgers said, via Nick Farabaugh. 'I just want to have fun here. I want to enjoy the game. The game has given me a ton. It's hard to think of anything in my life that's positive that wasn't impacted by, directly or indirectly, my playing this game.' Advertisement It has long been the expectation that Rodgers would come to an agreement with Pittsburgh. Still, it's a relief for fans who had been uneasy about the situation under center. It seems that offensive coordinator Arthur Smith had known this was coming, building his offense around the Canton-bound passer earlier in the offseason. Rodgers is obviously an upgrade and helps the Steelers in the immediate future. His impact could very well linger well past his farewell tour. 'I just want to give back to the game, enjoy it, pass on my knowledge to my teammates, and try to find ways to help lead the team,' Rodgers said. Sixth-round rookie passer Will Howard has the most to gain from Rodgers' signing, although it rules out 2025 playing time. With two decades of experience entering the room, Pittsburgh is better prepared to take on the challenges of today and tomorrow. The headlines and controversies might be inevitable, but the Steelers know what they've signed up for. In the meantime, Pittsburgh is happy Rodgers has arrived, regardless of how he came to his decision. Advertisement Related: How Much Are the Steelers Paying Aaron Rodgers?
