Latest news from Steelers camp
Thursday, July 24
Aaron Rodgers had one request of his new Pittsburgh teammates: keep an open mind. Rodgers asked his teammates to get to know him without any preconceived notions before making any judgements. That's exactly what rookie quarterback Will Howard did, and he said Thursday that he's been impressed with the veteran.
"I didn't really know what to expect from him," Howard said. "And that was the biggest thing is when he came in he said, 'Give me a clean slate, get to know me for me.' And I wanted to do that. I didn't want to come in with any expectations of who he was and just in getting to know him, he's such a down to earth, good guy.
"He likes to joke around and have fun and mess with the younger guys, but also you can just tell that it's pure and he loves the game. He wants to be here because he loves football."

Aaron Rodgers wasn't around during the Steelers' move-in to Rooney Hall at St. Vincent College on Wednesday, but he reported to training camp as scheduled. Rodgers didn't participate in team periods during minicamp as he got up to speed on the team's offense, but that won't be the case when the Steelers hold their first training camp practice Thursday, coach Mike Tomlin said.
"He's a workaholic," Tomlin said of managing Rodgers' workload at training camp. "I don't have a whole lot of reservations about that. I think he's hardened himself over the course of his career with his attitude toward work. Certainly I'm going to limit him in some instances, but when I do, it's going to be more about elevating opportunities for guys like Will Howard and less about preserving him to be quite honest with you."
