He knows the local accent and lingo, he loves being around Pittsburghers and heck, he even loves Pittsburgh Dad.
Aaron Rodgers joined Plum native Pat McAfee's show on Tuesday and talked about how much he loves Pittsburgh, once again fueling speculation of a possible move to Pittsburgh in the offseason.
Rodgers joins McAfee weekly during the season and with the Packers playing the Steelers in Green Bay on Sunday, of course McAfee asked the MVP about his home "tahn".
"It's a great blue collar town, there's a lot of great people that live there, it's got a lot of history, that city," said Rodgers.
Rodgers also gushed over Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.
"I have a ton of respect for Mike, I think he's a fantastic coach, I love the way that he leads, I love the way he talks after the games, he always seems to keep things really even-keeled and it looks like he's somebody that the players love playing for him," added Rodgers.
It's common for coaches and players to put over the team they are playing the upcoming week, but it's interesting that Rodgers talked more about the culture of Pittsburgh and of Tomlin rather than the players he'll be facing on the field.
Rodgers did talk briefly about how the defense seems to be good every year.
Rodgers and the Packers were involved in drama during the offseason but he ultimately came back for at least one more season, at least.
Rodgers to Pittsburgh wouldn't be an easy task though.
The Packers control Rodgers through the 2023 season with a potential out in 2022.
Andrew Fillipponi believes it would take a first round draft pick and a couple good players to get Rodgers to Pittsburgh.
At almost 38-years-old, Rodgers is not much younger than Ben, but The PM Team see no fall off yet in Rodgers with Roethlisberger struggling.
Chris Mueller says he doesn't even want to think about Rodgers coming to Pittsburgh because of what could potentially happen if a deal somehow happened.
"Honestly, because I think they could win a Super Bowl with this defense, Rodgers and just a little bit of help on their offensive line," said Mueller.
