Steelers' Slow-Mo Video Shows Aaron Rodgers' Pass to DK Metcalf
On Instagram, the Steelers highlighted their new QB-WR duo with a video of Rodgers throwing the ball to Metcalf, who caught it with ease. To add a dramatic effect, Pittsburgh's social media team gave it a slow-motion treatment.
The Steelers themselves were ecstatic to see the two work on their game, writing "Cinema" in the caption of the post. They also included the "Absolute Cinema" meme at the end of the post, emphasizing how much they enjoyed the play.
Fans were quick to comment on the video as well, with many unable to hide their delight at seeing Rodgers bring stability to their quarterback position and build more chemistry with their new weapon in Metcalf.
"Super Bowl," an excited commenter wrote. Another one expressed a similar sentiment, writing, "superbowl??"
"Not a Steelers fan but seeing Rodgers in a Steelers helmet and throwing to DK met-calf is out of this world!" a social media user added.
A fan remarked, "man this is really it."
"DK is that dude," a follower shared.
A sixth poster stated, "Mmmmmmmmm more please."
How Rodgers Feels in Pittsburgh With the Steelers
Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.65 million contract to join the Steelers. Considering the high likelihood of his retirement following the campaign — he said before that he's "pretty sure" it's his last one in the pros — the 41-year-old QB is expected to be highly motivated this 2025.
So far, Rodgers appears to be enjoying his time in Pittsburgh. In fact, on Wednesday, he said in the "Pat McAfee Show" that he's "getting more comfortable as the days go on." He also has nothing but "gratitude" to be part of a historic franchise like the Steelers.
"If I can sum up my feelings being in Pittsburgh, it's just gratitude to be in such a special organization with Mike T., the leadership of the football team, and to play for a fanbase that cares as much as these guys do."
