Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared to lose his cool after a miscommunication on a rep with receiver Roman Wilson. Rodgers signed a one-year deal to be the Steelers' quarterback this season. However, a knock on Rodgers in his career has been his hard-approach attitude, and that reportedly showed in practice.
ESPN NFL insider Ben Solak was at the Steelers' camp when the heated exchange happened, and he detailed what exactly went down.
"A miscommunication on a rep between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson," Solak wrote on Monday. "In a one-on-one period in the high red zone, Wilson was running an out-breaking route from the slot. The cornerback had nice underneath leverage, but that meant he couldn't see the trajectory of an incoming throw.

"Rodgers tried to throw the ball to the back shoulder, stopping Wilson's momentum to allow the corner to breeze by -- not an uncommon approach in the red zone. Wilson adjusted late and barely got an outstretched hand on the ball -- incomplete," Solak added.

After the ball fell incomplete, Solak says Rodgers reportedly let Wilson have it; he ripped into him as they jogged back to the position group. After some time, he went back at Wilson for the miscommunication and letting the ball drop.
"Rodgers let him have it. On the long jog back to his position group, Rodgers alternated between laying into Wilson and laying into Zach Azzanni, the Steelers' wide receivers coach. The QB wagged his head, planted his hand on his hips and stopped only to start up again twice."
Rodgers has always emphasized the need for perfection, and was seemingly frustrated that a miscommunication happened.
Wilson was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Steelers.
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers made an interesting comment about Roman Wilson
The exchange between Aaron Rodgers and Roman Wilson happened just days before the quarterback made an interesting comment.
When Rodgers was asked about the Steelers' receiver room, he talked about him needing to get out of his own head.
"I gotta get Ro[man] out of his own head a little bit ... he cares so much, whether it's my approval or if he's doing it right ... the more you can play free and not think out there, the better he's going to play. The more he can just trust what he's got, and then just go out there and react, the better he can play," Rodgers said.
Wilson finished his rookie season playing just 1 game as he was hampered by injuries.
