Aaron Rodgers will wear No. 8 Steelers jersey
Our Summary
Aaron Rodgers, former Jets and Packers quarterback, will wear the No. 8 jersey with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This follows the official announcement of his signing. Rodgers, who previously wore No. 12 with the Packers, had switched to No. 8 due to its retirement by the Jets for Joe Namath. Although No. 12 isn't officially retired by the Steelers, it's kept in honor of Terry Bradshaw, and Rodgers wearing it might have stirred controversy given Bradshaw's opposition to his signing. The No. 8 jersey was last worn by Steelers punter Corliss Waitman, who will now give it up for Rodgers.
