CEO behind Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' F7 Pro helmet responds to veteran frustration
CEO behind Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' F7 Pro helmet responds to veteran frustration Old habits die hard — and this couldn't be more true than for Aaron Rodgers, who had his longtime helmet model banned by the NFL this offseason. Rodgers wasn't thrilled about the switch to the newer, safer, and more innovative F7 Pro — and let reporters know about it at media availability. I recently had the opportunity to interview Certor Sports CEO Jeremy Erspamer about the F7 Pro model — and here's what he had to say in regard to veteran players, like Rodgers, giving up their old helmets: 'I feel for players like Aaron Rodgers,' Erspamer said. 'He's worn that same helmet model basically his entire career. As he said, he's never been hurt in it. I'm sure it feels like an old friend when he puts it on his head. I completely understand, from a player's perspective, that potentially causing frustration. I also understand the desire of the NFL — and for us, as helmet manufacturers — trying to develop new technology. Technology is evolving probably quicker than most people think. And the ability to protect athletes better comes along with that.' Rodgers will have plenty of time this offseason to adjust to the state-of-the-art F7 Pro — but his feedback remains valuable to Erspamer and Certor Sports as they refine both existing and in-development models.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf planning new throwing session in California
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf planning new throwing session in California Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf are building as much chemistry as they can before training camp in a few weeks. The UCLA throwing session and partnering up at Cam Heyward's Iron for Impact charity golf event appear to be just the start for the two — as Metcalf stated what's next for the duo. At Steelers mandatory minicamp, Metcalf was asked if there were plans for any more throwing sessions — and this was his response (courtesy of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette): "Yes sir," Metcalf said. "We're both based out in California. So, yeah, planning on getting together with him — throwing sessions, just watching film or talking ball." The Steelers are banking on the Rodgers-to-Metcalf connection being the heart and soul of the Black and Gold passing attack — and it's a positive sign that the two have been spending so much time together as of late.

Aaron Rodgers to make history in Steelers debut season — likely surpass two legendary QBs
Aaron Rodgers has the opportunity to surpass Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger and Packers legend Brett Favre in his debut season with Pittsburgh. Rodgers needs just 1,337 passing yards to surpass Roethlisberger for the fifth-most all-time, and needs six passing TDs to surpass Favre for fourth-most all-time. Advertisement Roethlisberger has previously criticized the nature of Rodgers' waiting game this offseason, and the four-time MVP could look to get a little payback on Big Ben by taking his place in the top five all-time passing yards leaders. Rodgers was selected by the Packers in 2005 to serve as the heir apparent to Favre — a move that led to some bitter feelings from both sides. While the two would reconcile, Rodgers could replace Favre one more time in NFL history — taking his fourth-place standing in TD passes. Barring an injury, achieving these records with the Steelers in 2025 seems like a matter of when, not if — as the four-time MVP will look to make the most of his debut season with Pittsburgh.
