Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers called out WR Roman Wilson after throwing an interception at practice.
Speaking with reporters, Rodgers revealed that Wilson made a "repeat mistake" that led to an interception during practice before praising the young wide receiver for overcoming adversity.
"Roman made a repeat mistake," Rodgers said via Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh. "That's a good learning experience, because I don't think he's going to do that again. But he did the same thing early in training camp, and we said, 'hey, on that under route, you've got to keep coming.' So I think it's best that it happened in practice. Roman is a great kid. He's had a fantastic camp. I have utmost confidence in him. He's going to have to play a big role for us. But mistakes can happen. That's a great one to happen in practice. But he's gotten a lot better, and I'm really proud of Roman."
Wilson had 12 catches for 166 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns last season. He's entering Year 3 in the NFL.
Rodgers is one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. He enters this season with 66,274 passing yards and 527 passing touchdowns in the regular season and 6,040 passing yards and 45 passing touchdowns in the playoffs.
Rodgers will target Wilson, D.K. Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington a lot this season.
In 2025, Rodgers put up 3,322 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions last season. The future Hall of Famer completed 65.7% of his passes.
The Steelers won the AFC North last season but lost to the Houston Texans at home in the wild-card round of the 2026 playoffs. A four-time MVP, Rodgers hasn't won a playoff game since the 2020 season, while the Steelers haven't won a postseason game since the 2016 season.
The Steelers open the 2026 season against the Atlanta Falcons. Let's see how Rodgers plays in his final NFL season opener.
Rodgers, of course, will retire from the NFL after this season.
Mike McCarthy and Rodgers won Super Bowl XLV against the Steelers as members of the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers called it a "full-circle" moment to play for McCarthy again.
