Skylar Thompson, No. 3 on Pittsburgh's depth chart behind Mason Rudolph with rookie Will Howard dealing with a hand injury, says Rodgers has been a model teammate and non-confrontational from the times the pair have shared together in the quarterback room.

Aaron Rodgers often catches vitriol from the public eye. However, his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates continue to paint a different picture, one that says the four-time MVP is a positive influence for them. Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson believes that Rodgers is often misunderstood by people who do not known him everyday around the team.

During Rodgers' prolonged courtship with Pittsburgh, Heyward said, “Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t."
