The dance is over. After several years of being at the top and being considered one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, Ben Roethlisberger finally decided to end his professional career after losing in the wild card round against Kansas City a week ago. . But what does Aaron Rodergs have to do with all this?
Big Ben became one of the pillars of football's last golden generation at quarterback, so after his departure, the Steelers are forced to find an ideal replacement who will not only have the hierarchy of the former player, but rather lead them to fight, seriously, for the Vince Lombardi trophy.
Such a situation has caused the media in the United States to start releasing rumors about the replacement that would come to the Steelers. However, none of these gained as much traction as the one starring Aaron Rodgers, who once again stayed on the sidelines in his place for the Super Bowl after Green Bay's loss to San Francisco in the divisional round.
For this reason, there is no doubt that the man born in California is emerging as the number 1 candidate to reach the Steelers and thus replace Ben Roetthlisberger considering, furthermore, that Rodgers himself is part of the same litter of elite elements who remain active along with Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady.
Aaron Rodgers and the candidates to replace Ben Roetthlisberger on the Steelers
* Aaron Rodgers: Pending an official announcement, all indications are that Rodgers will no longer be in Green Bay. The 38-year-old doesn't want to be part of a roster shakeup, so he'll have to look for a new club for next season and the Steelers could be his favorite destination.
* Russell Wilson: The salary cap could be the main impediment to Wilson making it to the Steelers; However, it is impossible not to place him as an ideal candidate for the institution considering the great performances that he had with Seattle until before the last few seasons.
* Mason Rudolph: The replacement could be at home. The advantages? He knows the system and the pressure that exists in the Steelers. The disadvantages? Experts doubt his regularity and the quality he has, which, until today, is totally inferior to what Big Ben apparently showed when he enters the gridiron.
* Kenny Pickett: He is the current quarterback of the University of Pittsburgh, he already knows the city and, in addition, he set a very interesting record of eleven wins and three losses. With 42 touchdown passes, the 2022 draft will fight with everything and the Steelers could be in this battle, who are eager to meet their new quarterback.
* Matt Corral: One of the best college QBs also has the Steelers within his reach. The doubts, however, lie in the fact that he will surely be chosen by the first teams within the initial selections of the draft, which would make it extremely difficult for him to reach the yellow and white squad.
