Aaron Rodgers reacts to criticism from Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw
It has been a challenging few years for Pittsburgh Steelers superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as he has faced significant criticism for his behavior on and off the field, particularly in the twilight of his NFL career.
As Rodgers starts fresh with the Steelers after a disappointing stint with the New York Jets, the criticism has ramped up once again, with four-time Super Bowl champion Terry Bradshaw being the latest to chime in via ESPN.
“What are you going to do? Bring him in for one year, are you kidding me? That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there,” Bradshaw, a Hall of Fame quarterback, said in a radio interview with 103.7 The Buzz in Arkansas.
Clearly, Bradshaw is not a fan of Rodgers, even though the four-time NFL MVP is taking over as the new starting quarterback for his former team.

As for Rodgers, the veteran quarterback is taking the criticism from Bradshaw in stride.
“Terry’s a legend. He’s an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He’s had a legendary career in the media,” Rodgers said in the interview, which took place as part of NFL Network’s Back Together Weekend coverage. “But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn’t know me. So, he’s got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I’ve done, the documentary, what I’ve said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about.”
Rodgers has a unique knack for tuning out the noise, even from prominent figures like Bradshaw. It’ll be interesting to see how his stint in Pittsburgh pans out and whether he can live up to expectations on one of the most successful franchises in the NFL.
