Aaron Rodgers is leaning into his final year, except when it comes to playing in the preseason

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — There was a time when the preseason felt like the Super Bowl to Aaron Rodgers. At least, not “real” compared to what things will look like when the games start to count in September. “I think preseason football is good to see guys with pads on, under the lights, how they react to the nerves,” he said. Pittsburgh currently has four quarterbacks — Rodgers, Howard, Allar and Mason Rudolph — on the roster. Rodgers’ most recent preseason snaps came three years ago during the first of his brief two-season stint with the New York Jets.
