The NFL’s New Starting Quarterbacks: Who Will Rise to Glory and Who Will Crumble Under Pressure?
Given the Steelers sent George Pickens packing in a trade, Rodgers only has one deep threat in Calvin Austin. But again, Rodgers isnât a deep-ball thrower anymore. His 6.95 air yards per attempt ranked 35 out of 39 quarterbacks with at least 200 passing attempts in 2024.
The 41-year-old Rodgers may not succeed in Pittsburgh, but the infrastructure around him offered a better chance than with other NFL teams. What could derail him is the team’s porous offensive line that allowed the fifth-highest pressure rate and tied for the fifth-highest sack rate at 45.3% and 8.4%, respectively.
