Dk Metcalf welcomes Aaron Rodgers early offseason return

Dk Metcalf expressed appreciation for Aaron Rodgers arriving earlier than last year for Pittsburgh Steelers offseason workouts. The wide receiver highlighted the value of additional practice time ahead of mandatory minicamp.

Dk Metcalf said the earlier presence of Rodgers allows the team to build chemistry on the field. “Last year, it was kind of a late start for everybody, but having him two weeks before mandatory [minicamp] means a lot,” Metcalf told media after an OTA session. “We can get a lot of reps under our belt.” He added that the extra time supports progress in a teaching environment and on-field execution.
