On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced new quarterback Aaron Rodgers will wear No. 8 in the upcoming season.

Aaron Rodgers will wear No. 8 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers wore No. 12 throughout his entire Green Bay Packers career, but he switched to No. 8, which he wore in college at Cal, when he landed with the Jets in 2023. No. 12 was unavailable in New York with that jersey retired in honor of Super Bowl III-winning quarterback Joe Namath.

Justin Fields will face his old team and former Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers officially will get a shot at his old team as well. After months of rumors and speculation, it was reported this weekend that Rodgers was planning to sign with Pittsburgh.
