Aaron Rodgers on Roman Wilson: Steelers are 'Going to Hold Him to High Standard'
National Football League Aaron Rodgers on Roman Wilson: Steelers are 'Going to Hold Him to High Standard' Published Aug. 20, 2025 12:12 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Second-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson is turning heads this summer, and that includes the one who will be throwing him passes. "I think he's improving every day. You can't skew the results from the details. You look at his game the other night, he made a couple splash plays. But we're going to coach him hard," Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said about Wilson on Tuesday, according to Pro Football Talk. "His receiver coach, [offensive coordinator] Art [Smith], and myself on the details, because the details are what make the difference. And even though he had a couple of big plays, there's some room for improvement there. "Wouldn't say anything if we just thought he was going to be a guy, just any guy that you could throw in. But I think he has a chance to be a big-time talent in the league. So, we're going to hold him to a high standard. I'm really happy with him, the way he's played. But we're going to hold him to a standard of excellence that I think he's capable of reaching." After reeling in each of his two targets for 24 yards in Pittsburgh's Week 1 preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Wilson tallied two receptions once more in its Week 2 preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with them going for a combined 72 yards, those being 42- and 30-yard pickups. Wilson only appeared in one game in his 2024 rookie campaign due to ankle and hamstring injuries. Pittsburgh selected the receiver with the No. 84 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, whom he helped win the National Championship in his 2023 senior season. ADVERTISEMENT In said championship season (2023), Wilson totaled 48 receptions for 789 yards (16.4 yards per reception) and 12 touchdowns, leading the Wolverines in all four categories. Wilson is part of a Steelers wide receiver room that now includes two-time Pro Bowler DK Metcalf and veteran Robert Woods; Pittsburgh traded previous No. 1 receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in May. Wilson is also joined by wide receiver Calvin Austin III, among others. The 41-year-old Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in June after spending the previous two seasons with the New York Jets (2023-24). Last season, Rodgers totaled 3,897 passing yards, 28 passing touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a 90.5 passer rating, while completing 63.0% of his passes. Rodgers, Wilson and the Steelers close out their 2025 preseason on the road against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night and, ironically, open their regular season on the road against the Jets, who now have Justin Fields under center – Fields made six starts for Pittsburgh last season – on Sept. 7.

Steelers Predicted to Replace Aaron Rodgers With Polarizing INT Leader
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Pittsburgh Steelers know who will be playing quarterback for them in 2025: future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers. Beyond that, though, is anyone's guess. This could very well be Rodgers' last season in the NFL, even if he enjoys a terrific year. And even if it isn't, the Steelers need to find a long-term solution behind him. More news: Caleb Williams' WR Comments are Bad Sign for Bears Rookie Pittsburgh did select Will Howard in the sixth round of the draft this past April, but it seems hard to imagine he will be the Steelers' answer over the long haul. So perhaps Mike Tomlin's club can find its man in next year's NFL Draft? ESPN's Field Yates recently published his latest 2026 mock draft, and he does have Pittsburgh nabbing a signal-caller with the 16th overall pick: LSU's Garrett Nussmeier.

Photo by"Nussmeier -- the son of Saints offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier -- is like a point guard on the field, playing with elite processing skills and very good accuracy," Yates wrote. "He lacks dynamic athleticism and has just solid arm strength, but he is still able to deliver the ball on time and to spots where his receivers can create after the catch." Nussmeier is a bit of a polarizing prospect. He doesn't appear to be elite in any one particular category, and in a modern NFL where athleticism and escapability is key, Nussmeier seems like a bit of a dinosaur. Not only that, but the 23-year-old led the SEC with 12 interceptions last season, so turnovers are something that he absolutely needs to harness. More news: Daniel Jones Earns Hilarious New Nickname After Winning Colts QB Battle Nussmeier did throw for an impressive 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024, completing a modest 64.2 percent of his passes. Decent numbers for sure, but there is no doubt that there is reason to be concerned about his NFL future. There will surely be plenty of impressive signal-callers available in next spring's draft, so the Steelers should be able to find an answer. But Nussmeier may not be the safest pick for the club.

There is no time to waste for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers
PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers walked off the practice field at the Pittsburgh Steelers' training facility here Tuesday only 19 days away from his 21st and what he says will likely be his final NFL season. So there will be no do-overs, if he sticks to that, and there is little leeway. Since he joined this proudest of franchises in June for the third act of his legendary but polarizing NFL career, he has had much to do — with relatively little time to do it.
